Certification Introduction
Philippine ICC certification was issued by the Bureau of Product Standards (BPS) of the Department of Trade and Industry of the Philippines on August 17, 2007. The 2007 series of executive orders issued by the Philippine National Standards for audio, video and similar electrical appliances are mandatory.
The ICC system applies to imported goods. For imported products that are covered by the mandatory Philippine National Standard (PNS), after the imported goods are evaluated by the Philippine Bureau of Product Standards (BPS) and meet the requirements of the corresponding Philippine National Standard or the internationally accepted foreign standard, BPS will give the product to the product. The importer of ICC issues an ICC license, allowing it to apply the ICC mark. Imported products are subject to sampling testing. In addition, the Philippine Sea will conduct random sampling inspections in the market to ensure that imported goods meet the corresponding PS standard requirements.
