A New Work Item Proposal (NWIP) is a proposal for:

(a) a new draft standard;

(b) a new part of an existing standard;

(c) revision of an existing standard or part; or

(d) amendment to an existing standard or part.

Any stakeholder may submit to the BPS their proposal/s. Proposals must be accomplished through the 1BPS portal website (standardsph.dti.gov.ph). The proposer shall make every effort to provide an initial working draft for discussion, or shall at least provide an outline of such a working draft. 

The decision to accept the NWIP shall be made by BPS Director upon the recommendation of the Chief of the Standards Development Division (SDD). Once the NWIP is accepted, it shall be registered in the program of work of the relevant technical committee or subcommittee as a new project with the appropriate priority. The agreed target dates shall be indicated on the appropriate form.
