The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), through the Bureau of Philippine Standards (BPS), has issued the Department Administrative Order (DAO) 22-01, series of 2022 providing the new technical regulation prescribing the mandatory product certification of Energy Consuming Products (ECPs).

The said products are already included in the BPS mandatory certification for the safety requirement. But with this DAO, the BPS shall now require the compliance of the said products to both the safety and performance requirements as per applicable Philippine National Standards (PNS).
Importers shall apply for Import Commodity Clearance (ICC), in accordance with the requirements of DAO 5:2008, its implementing rules and regulations, and DAO 18-03:2018 (for RAC, refrigerators, and television sets) and DAO 18-02:2018 (for SBLL) and their future amendments.
The DAO also expanded the scope of implementation for products covered under mandatory certification and shall entail the inclusion of the following in the BPS List of Products Under Mandatory Certification:
