CONTEST MECHANICS

  1. The theme shall be "Standard and Technical Regulation".
  2. All entries must discuss the difference between a standard and a technical regulation in a fun, engaging and creative manner.
  3. The following definitions from the World Trade Organization – Technical Barriers to Trade (WTO-TBT) Agreement are provided for reference of interested participants:
    A Standard is a document approved by a recognized body that provides, for common and repeated use, rules, guidelines or characteristics for products or related processes and production methods, with which compliance is NOT mandatory.
    A Technical Regulation, on the other hand, is a document which lays down product characteristics or their related processes and production methods, including the applicable administrative provisions, with which compliance IS mandatory.
  4. Please note that the DTI-BPS is the National Standards Body authorized to promulgate Philippine National Standards (PNS). PNS are voluntary in nature and may be used as reference by any interested parties. The conformance to PNS or parts thereof become mandatory only when the same is used as reference in Technical Regulations issued by regulatory authorities.

As of August 2021, the DTI-BPS has already promulgated 12,226 PNS. Out of this number, only 74 PNS are used as references in Technical Regulations issued by BPS for its mandatory product certification schemes.
