About PhilMSTQ Inc
Who We Are
Philippine Metrology, Standards, Testing, and Quality, Incorporated (PhilMSTQ) is a non-profit non-stock association that has been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission since 2006.
The PhilMSTQ is a determined and dynamic group of individuals and institutions, both private and government, who have united to advocate for a strong, unified, and sustainable infrastructure for Metrology, Standards, Testing, and Quality (Certification and Accreditation) in the country. This infrastructure (aka NQI) is absolutely essential for ensuring health and safety, producing globally competitive products, promoting fair trade, protecting consumers and the environment, and supporting research and development. NQI has been the key to rapid economic development of many countries.
The organization was formed from the group that attended the initial consultative meeting called by the Bureau of Product Standards, together with the ITDI and consultants from the PTB Germany Technical Cooperation, which was held in September of 2004.
Our Two-Pronged Vision
1. A robust, unified and sustainable National Quality Infrastructure (NQI) in the Philippines that ensures the following:
- Global competitiveness of Philippine products and services
- Local consumer health and environment protection
- Better quality of life for Filipinos in the new globalized world
2. An enlightened citizenry that participates in the creation of NQI and proactively encourages stakeholders to do their part in sustaining the NQI.
Our Mission
To advocate the establishment, strengthening and sustainability of a responsive, responsible and functional NQI in the Philippines.
To help remove technical barriers for Philippine products for international trade and enhance health protection and environmental sustainability.
To catalyze the creation of a coherent and sustainable NQI in the Philippines that is responsive to the needs of Filipino consumers and industries.
Our Guiding Principles
- Quality Matters
- Making quality consciousness a way of life for all Filipinos will result in products and services that even surpass standards, i.e. excellent products and services.
- A National Quality Infrastructure (NQI) is the backbone of a more competitive nation
- No sector or government agency can singlehandedly build a functional NQI
