- What is the Bureau of Philippine Standards (BPS)?
The BPS is a governmental body under the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). It is the National Standards Body of the Philippines and is responsible in developing or adopting, implementing and promoting Philippine National Standards (PNS). They are responsible for establishing Philippine National Standards for products, as well as test methods and codes of practice, to provide the technical bases for the importation of quality and safe products and for the inspection, testing and certification of these products.
- What is a standard?
A standard is a document, established by consensus, something set up and established by authority as a rule for the measure of quantity, weight, extent, value, or quality. Standards should be based on the consolidated results of science, technology and experience, and aimed at the promotion of optimum community benefits.
- Why are standards needed?
We need standards because standards contribute in making life simpler and increasing the reliability and effectiveness of the goods and services we utilized.
