Human safety conditions
The human, sanitary and environmental safety conditions can only be verified physically, these frame the requirements that a building must have, to allow a quick and safe evacuation of its occupants.
The Special Administrative Unit of the Official Fire Department of Bogota (UAECOB) is the entity in charge of verifying the safety conditions, where possible risks are foreseen and mitigate their impact in case of an accident, after validating, among other aspects, that the establishment has fast and safe evacuation exits, as well as fire extinguishers, signage, smoke detectors and electrical networks in perfect condition.
The technical concept of the D.C. Fire Department is the technical assessment that reviews the conditions of human safety, fire risks, hazardous materials and fire protection systems in buildings or establishments in the District.
To obtain the technical concept, you must complete the following procedure
Go to one of the citizen attention points of the Unidad Administrativa Especial Cuerpo Oficial de Bomberos de Bogotá, Oficina de Atención al Ciudadano del Cuerpo Oficial de Bomberos, located at Calle 20 Nº 68 A - 68, with the following documentation according to the case:
Case 1
New establishments or not obliged to declare ICA:
Submit the Certificate of Existence issued by the CCB (original or legible copy), renewed with validity of one (1) year.
Case 2
Companies of the Common Regime:
Submit the six (6) bimonthly ICA returns for the immediately preceding year (original or legible copy).
Case 3
Simplified Regime Companies:
Submit original or legible copy of the Certificate of Existence issued by the CCB renewed with validity of one (1) year and original of the ICA tax for the year, immediately prior to the application.
If the commercial establishment is new or is not obliged to declare, the fee to be paid is equivalent to two (2) minimum daily wages for each establishment. If, on the other hand, the establishment is not new and belongs to the Common or Simplified Regime, the fee will be one percent (1%) liquidated on the value of the ICA, plus the equivalent of one (1) minimum daily wage for each establishment.
Make the payment at any branch of Banco de Occidente current account number 25604582-4, in the name of the District Treasury.
Once the payment has been made, the merchant must go to any of the attention points, where he/she will be given a valid cash receipt, to be classified in the risk level of the establishment and/or claim the technical review concept.
If the business establishment is considered low risk:
The citizen will participate in a training and an inspection of the establishment will be scheduled within thirty (30) working days after the application is filed.
At the end of the training, a self-review form will be provided.
But if it is considered moderate or high risk:
The technical concept of the D.C. Fire Department will be delivered to the merchant fifteen (15) working days after receiving the technical inspection.
Keep in mind:
The technical concept will be delivered only with the original receipt.
To enter the training you must present the original receipt of citation to the training.
The documents submitted will be returned once the settlement has been made.
The technical concept of the D.C. Fire Department is valid for one (1) year, from the inspection visit.
Only one visit is made per establishment. If another visit is required, the procedure described above must be started again.
