Business establishments from across Region 8 joined us for “𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀,” where they learned why standards matter and how to meet the requirements for product certification and regulatory compliance.

Our resource persons from the Bureau of Philippine Standards (BPS) and the Philippine Association of Black Iron and Galvanized Iron Pipes and Tubes Manufacturers, Inc. (BIGI) shared what it takes to make sure products carry the proper standards mark.

In the afternoon, mall goers joined the Product Matching Game, an interactive game on mandatory products. It was a fun way to learn which products must carry the standards mark. 🎮

Why does this matter to you? Because when businesses meet the standards, the products on the shelves are safer for every one of us.

Before you buy, CHECK the Mark. It tells you that a product has met the required standards.
