| Affected Clients and Stakeholders | All clients availing the above LATL services |
| Nature of Change | With the launching of the Philippine Energy Labeling Program (PELP) Online Registration System for various household appliances on 10 January 2022, LATL will no longer accept and process requests related to the above-mentioned services. Clients who wish to submit requests for validation of energy labels are directed to transact their businesses and submit the necessary documents and/or certification to the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Performance Regulation and Enforcement Division (EPRED) of the DOE Energy Utilization Management Division (DOE-EUMB). Other laboratories who wish to submit results of energy performance testing in accordance with PNS 396-1 and -2 are directed to submit the reports to EPRED for appropriate actions. All requests for services mentioned above that are still pending with LATL will be endorsed properly to EPRED for appropriate action. Rest assured that this transition will not hamper the delivery of timely and quality service to our clients and stakeholders. |
