Credit-Based Licence: INL Guidelines for the Recognition of Additional Credits

On 15 July 2025, the National Labour Inspectorate (INL) issued Notice No. 288, providing clarification on the procedures for obtaining the additional credits established by Ministerial Decree No. 132/2024, which introduced the credit-based licence system. Under the provisions of the decree, the initial allocation of 30 credits may be increased to a maximum of 100, upon demonstration of specific qualifying criteria. These include: the length of registration with the Chamber of Commerce, with points awarded proportionally to the number of years of registration; certification of an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (SGSL) compliant with UNI EN ISO 45001; adoption of an Occupational Health and Safety Management and Organisation Model (MOG-SSL) validated by a joint body; possession of SOA certification in category I or II; and a positive assessment issued by a joint body following consultancy and monitoring activities. The INL also outlines the procedures for rectifying any errors concerning additional requirements entered in the credit-based licence portal.

The legal representative (or an authorised delegate) may amend the information directly, provided such amendments are made prior to the score update, which generally occurs each night between midnight and 3:00 a.m. Should the correction not be carried out within the specified timeframe, the request for amendment must be submitted to the relevant local office of the Labour Inspectorate. Finally, it is specified that, should an inspection reveal that the enterprise does not meet one or more of the declared additional requirements, the inspection personnel may proceed with their invalidation, subject to confirmation by the Head of the relevant Office.
