ILOILO City – Product standards and safety took center stage at the Product Standards Expo and Diskwento Sale which opened at Plazuela de Iloilo on Oct. 12.

The expo itself is intended to be part of Consumer Welfare Month –  as spearheaded by the Department of Trade and Industry – and aims to offer information on the role and importance of product standards in the creation of local and imported products.

According to DTI Iloilo provincial director Diosdado Cadena, the expo’s main purpose is to raise awareness about mandatory product standard certification, and to show consumers what compliant products should look like.

The expo itself featured select items, including steel supplies, construction supplies, fire extinguishers, retail items, household appliances and LPG tanks, all of which were compliant with all product standards.

Aside from promoting safety and product standards, the expo also offered information on consumer rights as well as the requirements that businesses need to comply with in order to sell their products.

“The expo gina-patigayon naton ina para ma-create awareness, kag makita sang  konsumidor ano ang itsura sang produkto nga covered by product standard. Para makita nila ang actual “PS” mark – product standards mark. Awareness gid ya. Awareness and consciousness of product safety and product quality,” said Cadena./PN
