In the Philippines, labeling and fair packaging play
a crucial role in ensuring that consumers receive
accurate information about the products they
purchase. Let’s delve into the key points:
1.COMPULSORY REQUIREMENTS
• Consumer Act of the Philippines mandates that labeling and

packaging of consumer products adhere to specific
guidelines.
• It is unlawful for anyone engaged in labeling or packaging
to display or distribute any consumer product whose
package or label does not conform to legal provisions.
All domestically sold consumer products, whether locally manufactured or

imported, must include the following information on their labels or packaging:
• Correct and registered trade name or brand name.

• Duly registered trademark.
• Address of the manufacturer, importer, or repacker in the Philippines.
• General make or active ingredients.
• Net quantity of contents (in terms of weight, measure, or numerical count).
• Country of manufacture (if imported).
• If a consumer product is manufactured, refilled, or repacked under

license from a principal, the label must state this fact.
• Additional details may be required, such as flammability warnings,

directions for use, toxicity warnings, wattage/voltage/amperage, or
manufacturing processes.
2. PURPOSE OF LABELING AND FAIR PACKAGING
• Enable consumers to obtain accurate information about

the nature, quality, and quantity of the product.
• Facilitate comparison of the value of different products.
• Ensure transparency and protect consumer rights.

3. INTEGRAL PART OF THE LABEL
• The specified requirements form an integral part of the

label and should not be easily erased or detached
during normal handling of the product.

4. LOCAL AND IMPORTED PRODUCTS
- Products manufactured locally must bear the

Philippine Standard (PS) mark.
- Imported products must bear the Import Commodity

Clearance (ICC) certification marks issued upon
inspection by the Bureau of Philippine Standards (BPS).
5. POLICY AND ENFORCEMENT
- The state enforces compulsory labeling and fair packaging

to enable consumers to obtain accurate information about
the nature, quality, and quantity of product contents.
- The goal is to facilitate comparison of the value of

different products.
- The Department of Health Bureau of Food and Drugs

oversees these regulations..
