The government issued a statement on Monday, Nov. 29, reminding e-commerce platforms to ensure that all products under the DTI mandatory certification that are offered for sale in their sites should bear the Philippine Standard (PS) mark or the Import Commodity Clearance (ICC) sticker.
The Department of Trade and Industry - Bureau of Philippine Standards (DTI-BPS) has called on commercial training centers to “cease reproducing -- digitally or in print -- copies of standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), including those adopted as Philippine National Standards (PNS), as such practice constitutes copyright infringement”.
