The board reviews the recommendations of the registrar and decides the following:

  • Whether the facility be given a provisional license
  • Whether the facility be given a long term license
  • Whether the facility be refused licensed

The process of licensing begins with picking or downloading an application form from HeFRA  offices or the website respectively. ( The applicant has a 90 day period within which to submit the completed application form with all required documents)

Following completion of the submission process, an inspection letter is issued to the facility to prepare for an inspection to be carried out.

New facilities are not allowed to operate until they have been accredited.
If HeFRA confirms a positive recommendation for the facility to operate, then a license is issued to enable the facility to operate.

In case where HeFRA finds the inspection report unsatisfactory, a period of time is given to the facility to address these issues satisfactorily for re-inspection.
