THE Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) said the Bureau of Philippine Standards has added glass products to the list of items subject to mandatory certification, with effect from Feb. 19.
Added to the list were flat glass; heat-strengthened and fully tempered flat glass; laminated glass; laminated safety glass; and bent glass.
Memorandum Circular (MC) No. 26-01, Series of 2026 lists 113 products that must undergo product certification.
MC 26-01 classifies certified products needing certification under three main categories: electrical and electronic products, building and construction products, and chemical and other consumer products.
The list also covers household appliances; consumer electronics; lighting and wiring devices; steel products; plastic pipes and ceramic products; cement and other construction materials; chemical products; automotive related products; and other consumer goods.
The DTI has said it will enforce the certification requirement for glass products beginning April 3.
Manufacturers and importers were given 90 days to apply for Philippine Standards certification following MC No. 25-19, Series of 2025.
Certified products must include a Philippine Standard License Mark or Import Commodity Clearance Sticker.
A year after the effectivity of the circular, the DTI will conduct market monitoring to ensure compliance. — Beatriz Marie D. Cruz
