Q. What are the available e-Payment facilities of the Bureau of Product Standards (BPS)? (top)

The BPS offers two (2) e-Payment facilities to our clients. One is by using the BPS Standards and Conformance (S&C) Portal Web Store http://www.bps.dti.gov.ph and the other one is via the Billpay mobile payment of Globe using GCash.

The BPS S&C Portal Web Store is an easy and efficient way for all our portal users to order, purchase, avail and pay Philippine National Standards (PNS) and other collection of standards and related documents, handbooks, and publications online as well as pay BPS services and fees via the Portal’s Web Store.

All BPS products can be ordered online. Almost all can be delivered in either of two ways. First is the traditional paper method. You can ask for “hardcopy” documents in our Library and Information Center or you can choose to download them as electronic documents in Adobe Acrobat PDF format that you can store on your computer. You choose which version you want when you add items to your shopping cart, or when you are ready to finalize your order.

The Billpay mobile payment uses GCash that enables any Globe or TM subscriber to send and receive money and make payments just through text/ SMS.
