LEGAZPI CITY, Oct 22 (PIA) – The Department of Trade and Industry held on October 21-23 the first Product Standards Fair themed “Product Standards for Safe and Clean Environment” to encourage consumers to patronize quality products and to use innovative products that comply with standards.
DTI Bicol INFORMATION officer Jocelyn Berango said the activity is timely since product standards is a big factor in protecting the environment.
“Considering the frequent occurrence of typhoons and heavy rains, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) wants to alert the consumers on the effects of the use of uncertified and unsafe products and the destruction that they will bring to people’s lives and properties, “ Berango said.
The fair convened consumers and the business community for them to learn and be familiarized with standards REQUIREMENTS based on Philippine National Standards (PNS) of various DTI regulated products.
Likewise, consumers were discouraged to buy or use cheap and unsafe products for greater economic benefits.
On the part of the manufacturers, the fair served as a venue for them to provide quality products, increase product visibility and generate MARKET leads.
Ten companies exhibited their products which include polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes, ROOFING MATERIALS, lighting materials, solar panels, tires, black iron and galvanized iron (BI-GI) pipes, fire extinguishers, cement, and other innovative products.
“These products are guaranteed safe and certified, thereby protecting the environment and the public against unreasonable risks of injury,” Berango added.
Apart from the product exhibit, a Standards Seminar was also conducted and participated in by hardware owners, engineering students, and contractors along with the 3rd Regional Consumerism Challenge for high school students in the region. (AAN/SAA-PIA5/Albay)
