Pursuant to Section 54, Book IV of the Administrative Code of 1987 and Executive Order No. 159 (1994) as implemented by DOF-DBM Joint Circular No. 2-94, directing the Department of Trade and Industry, among others to revise its fees and charges at just and reasonable rates sufficient to recover the full cost of services rendered, the following rules are hereby prescribed and promulgated for the information, guidance and compliance of all concerned:

1.         Scope - This Department Administrative Order covers fees relative to the conduct of complete or partial product testing and inspection in accordance with established procedures in connection with, but not limited to, the implementation of the product Certificate Scheme (PS-ICC Marks) of the Bureau of Product Standards. This Order does not include the testing fees charged by other laboratories utilized by BPS for its product certification program.

2.         Revised Schedule of Product Testing Fees - The revised schedule of testing fees of BPS Testing Center is provided in Annex "A" hereof.

3.         Extent of Tests and Inspection - The tests and/or inspections covered by the listed testing fees are based on the present capabilities of the BPS Testing Center (hereinafter referred to as BPSTC).

Likewise, should BPS deem said tests are not necessary/not applicable to the product, the test fee corresponding to the test/s not conducted/not applicable to the product shall be considered as "excess/undue payment" to be refunded as provided in the following Section.

6.         Excess/Undue Payments - Excess/Undue payments for any of the fees covered by this Order, shall be refunded to the payer by way of crediting the excess/undue payments to future financial obligations of the payer to the BPSTC.
