PTRI GUIDELINES FOR SECURING CERTIFICATION FOR THE
PHILIPPINE TROPICAL FABRIC UNDER RA 9242

  1. Rationale


    2.  The Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Republic Act 9242 "An Act Prescribing the Use of Philippine Tropical Fabrics for Uniforms of Public Officials and Employees and for Other Purposes" was published in Pilipino Star Ngayon on June 22, 2005. Rule IV, Section 1 of the said IRR states that "The Philippine Textile Research Institute (PTRI) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) shall develop and issue Guidelines for Securing Certification and other necessary forms and these shall form an integral part of these Rules." Likewise, Section 2 states that "The PTRI shall conduct tests on [fiber] composition and other properties to determine whether or not the fabric meets the minimum standard requirements for uniform and other purposes, and shall issue the appropriate certification, or exemption as the case may be." Hence, these guidelines were formulated.
     
  2. Coverage


    3. These guidelines shall apply to all textile producers, fabric suppliers, and garment manufacturers wishing to bid for the uniforms of public officials and employees and for other purposes as provided for by RA 9242.
