Philippine Motor Vehicle Type Approval
Motor vehicle certification in the Philippines includes vehicle emission certification and safety certification. The Philippine Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) is responsible for testing and approval of vehicle emission, which passed the test can get a Certificate of Conformity from EMB. The Land Transportation Office (LTO) is under the Department of Transportation (DOT), who is responsible for the safety certification of the vehicle. This department will issue an announcement about the new vehicle type. In addition, some automotive spare-part (or after-market parts) such as seat belts, glass, etc. need to be certified by the BPS, which is the National Bureau of Standards under the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) of the Philippines, who is also responsible for the certification of all consumer products, including automotive parts.

General Steps
Application
Manufacturer prepares the documents and reviewed by ATIC experts. ATIC support importer or manufacture to submit application to Philippines BPS.
Factory Audit and Testing
Generally initial factory audit shall be conducted by BPS officers, ATIC will follow up the factory audit and may accompany with BPS auditors during the factory audit. After factory audit ATIC experts will prepare a testing plan and witness testing in designated labs and send technical reports to authorities for approval.
Approval
After factory audit and testing pass, all technical reports, type approval certificates and application documents reviewed by BPS the ICC certificate will be issued by BPS.
Mass Production and Sales
After approval, manufacturer shall ensure that the whole vehicle or components are manufactured in full compliance with regulations and annual maintenance audit will be conducted by BPS.
