Compliance with these technical parameters will be mandatory for obtaining or maintaining type approval in the Philippines once the circular is finalized. Engineering teams should note that technical limits must not be exceeded by any function of the equipment.
Timeline and Stakeholder Input
The NTC is seeking industry feedback to ensure the transition is manageable for all stakeholders:
