PNS on Rubber, Furniture And Adhesive And Allied Products

The Department of Trade and Industry’s Bureau of Product Standards (DTI-BPS) informs the concerned sectors that the following standards have been adopted as PNS.

The DTI-BPS adopts these standards through the recommendation of Technical Committees on Rubber and Rubber Products (BPSTC 16), Furniture (BPSTC 41), and Adhesive and Allied products (BPS/TC 51).The members of the Technical Committees are composed of representatives from the government, trade and industry associations, manufacturers, testing laboratories, and research and testing institutions.
