STD's First IQA based on QMS for ISO 9001:2015

On 25 May 2026, the ITDI-Standards and Testing Division (STD) successfully underwent an Internal Quality Audit (IQA) of its Quality Management System (QMS), focused on aligning with the rigorous requirements of ISO 9001:2015.

This targeted audit marks a pivotal milestone in the strategic incorporation of the STD into the wider DOST-ITDI Quality Management System. The evaluation was meticulously conducted by a dedicated pool of cross-divisional internal auditors: Engr. Engel Ibarra from the Environment and Biotechnology Division (EBD) and Mr. Christopher Bilbao from the Chemicals and Energy Division (CED).

Through cooperative efforts and a shared commitment to excellence, the audit highlighted STD's continuous drive to streamline processes, improve operational efficiencies, and uphold the highest standards of data integrity and customer satisfaction.

Kudos to the entire STD team and our internal auditors for working hand-in-hand to ensure that our solutions and opportunities remain world-class!

DOST ITDI Empowers Laboratories with Public Training on Laboratory Quality Management System based on PNS ISO/IEC 17025:2017

The ITDI-Standards and Testing Division of the Industrial Technology Development Institute (DOST ITDI) successfully conducted its regular public training offering on the Laboratory Quality Management System (LQMS) based on PNS ISO/IEC 17025:2017. The two-day capacity-building activity took place from 12-13 May 2026, at the STD Conference Room, DOST-ITDI, DOST Complex, Bicutan, Taguig City.

The technical training featured a robust roster of resource speakers from the institute's specialized laboratories:

Mr. Alxis John C. Movida, RMicro, PFT
Science Research Specialist II
Microbiology Section, Biological Laboratory

Mrs. Isaiah U. Sta. Ana, RCh
Senior Science Research Specialist
Organic Chemistry Section, Chemistry Laboratory

The training program was highly lauded by the participants for its dynamic delivery. Departing from traditional, lecture-heavy formats, the resource speakers utilized highly interactive training strategies, including case studies, open forums, and practical exercises. This engaging approach enabled the trainees to thoroughly comprehend and appreciate the rigorous management and technical requirements of the PNS ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard. By equipping the attendees with actionable insights, DOST ITDI continues to spearhead local efforts in upgrading institutional competencies and fostering international alignment in testing and calibration laboratories.
