How to read a Thai FDA number

How to read the 13-digit food serial number

Food and dietary supplements show a 13-digit food serial number inside the อย. frame, in 5 groups, for example 10-3-08338-1-0001

Digits 1–2: Province code of the manufacturing or import premises, e.g. 10 = Bangkok · 11 = Samut Prakan · 13 = Pathum Thani
Digit 3: Type of premises — 1 or 2 is a manufacturing site · 3 or 4 is an importer (the digit depends on the authority that licensed the premises)
Digits 4–8: Licence number of that manufacturing or import premises
Digit 9: Authority that approved the product
Digits 10–13: Running number of the product at that premises, e.g. 0001 · 0002

How to read a cosmetic notification number

Cosmetics do not carry the อย. frame; the label shows the notification number. The current format has 13 digits, e.g. 10-2-6200050800; the older format has 10 digits, e.g. 10-1-5101438

Digits 1–2: Province code of the office that accepted the notification, e.g. 10 = filed centrally in Bangkok
Digit 3: 1 = made in Thailand · 2 = imported
Remaining digits: Running number of the notification; its first two digits are usually the Thai (Buddhist) year of notification, e.g. 62 = 2562 (2019)

Herbal product registration numbers

Registered herbal products use a number with a letter prefix, a running number, a slash and a 2-digit Thai year, e.g. G15049/64 — type it as printed on the label

Frequently asked questions

Where does this Thai FDA number check get its data?

From the Thai FDA public product search system, at every search. This site does not store or change registration data; if a result differs from the Thai FDA website, the Thai FDA system prevails.

Not found — does that mean the product is fake?

Not always. The number may be mistyped or incomplete, the licence may be cancelled, or the data may not be in the system yet. Check the number again, search by product name, or ask the Thai FDA hotline 1556.

Found — does that mean the product is genuine?

Not yet. A Thai FDA number can be printed on other products. Compare the product name, manufacturer or importer and product form on the label with the registered details; if they do not match, be cautious.

What does a cancelled or lapsed status mean?

That licence or notification is no longer valid according to the Thai FDA system. If the product is still on sale under that number, ask the seller or report to the Thai FDA hotline 1556.

Can I check drugs or medical devices?

Not yet — this tool does not cover the drug and medical device databases. Use the Thai FDA search system directly.
