1. How much are the fees for the PELP Registration?
Company Registration - PHP 1,600.00
Product Registration - PhP 300.00 per product model
Issuance of Energy Label- PhP 300.00 per product model (1-year validity)
or
Issuance of Energy Label (such as Certificate of Exemption or the Certificate of
Conditional Approval) - PHP 300.00
2. Are manufacturers from overseas allowed to register in PELP?
Since the PELP requires submission of locally issued permits and certifications as part of the documentary requirements during the Company Registration application, only businesses with local I Philippine-based offices may register. For manufacturers situated overseas, their Philippine-based office/s or local distributor/s may register under PELP instead.
3. How can we get energy labels?
The Energy Label for a specific product model may be requested by completing the online Company Registration, Product Registration, and Request for Energy Label Steps in the PELP System.
4. Do you accept performance test reports from testing facilities abroad when we are applying for product registration?
Yes. Provided that they are ISO 17025-accredited, and their scope of accreditation covers the relevant testing standards mentioned in the various IGs of specific ECPs.
5. What is the difference between a Base and a Generic Model?
Base Models refer to models whose main component and other design components are distinct in voltage rating, power input, frequency, light output, etc., while Generic Models refer to a range of models SIMILAR TO THE BASE MODEL where all have the same major physical characteristics, construction, system design, and other performance characteristics.
In simpler terms, the base model can be interpreted as the original design for a certain model while the generic models are the models derived from the base model that, despite minor differences, should have the same energy performance. This is also the reason why, during product registration, the test report of a base model is applicable for its generic counterparts.
