As the new year draws near, the Department of Trade and Industry’s Bureau of Philippine Standards (DTI-BPS), under the Consumer Protection Group (CPG), has released the list of certified fireworks and firecrackers for the reference of consumers. The DTI reminds the public to only purchase fireworks and firecrackers manufactured locally that bear the Philippine Standard (PS) mark for guaranteed safety and quality.
“The purchase and use of uncertified fireworks and firecrackers may result to damage to properties and cause fatalities. Hence, the DTI is here to remind all consumers to only buy and support certified fireworks produced by licensed and authorized manufacturers with Philippine Standard (PS) License,” said DTI-CPG Undersecretary Atty. Ruth B. Castelo.
