Delivering World-Class Inspection and Surveyorship Services Across the Philippines

Qualitest Inspection Services, a proud member of the Asian Quality Services Consortium and a trusted name in third-party inspection and surveyorship, and Admiral Testing and Surveying Services, proudly accredited by DTI BPS for Mechanical, Building and Construction inspections are thrilled to announce the expansion of operations to the Visayas and Mindanao regions. This strategic move marks a significant milestone in the company’s mission to provide top-tier inspection services nationwide.

With its headquarters firmly established in Metro Manila, Qualitest has built a reputation for excellence in agricultural and mineral surveys, hydrocarbon inspections, industrial and marine technical services, and agri-laboratory testing. Meanwhile, Admiral Testing and Surveying Services, the trusted expert of the country’s major steel suppliers, is conducting operations for plywood, cement, and ceramics for importers and manufacturers’ ICC certification. The expansion into Visayas and Mindanao is a response to growing demand for reliable, accredited inspection services in these regions, particularly in the booming sectors of construction, agriculture, and energy.

What this expansion means

• – Faster Response Times: Quicker turnaround times for inspections of imports.
• – Localized Expertise: Regional teams with deep knowledge of local industries and logistics.
• – Enhanced Accessibility: Reduced costs and improved operational efficiency by eliminating reliance on Manila-based inspectors.

What is DTI-BPS?

The Bureau of Philippine Standards (BPS), under the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), ensures that products—whether locally made or imported—meet safety, quality, and performance standards. For importers, this means navigating mandatory certification before products can enter the Philippine market.

Mandatory Certification Schemes: PS and ICC

– Philippine Standard (PS) Mark: For manufacturers whose products meet the Philippine National Standards (PNS).
– Import Commodity Clearance (ICC): For non-PS-certified products, issued per shipment and product after inspection and testing.

Why It Matters to Importers in the Mechanical, Building, and Construction Group (MBCG)

Products like steel, cement, plywood, ceramic tiles, and plumbing fixtures are subject to strict certification. These materials are critical to infrastructure and public safety.

Key Impacts:
– Non-compliance = no market entry
– Delays = financial loss
– Certification = trust and credibility
