In support of the Philippine Government's effort to promote the utilization of alternative and clean fuel technology consistent with the objectives of the Clean Air Act of 1999 and the continuing policies and programs of the Department in updating fuel quality specifications in term of the current requirements of the industry, its users and manufacturers, the Department of Energy's Technical Committee on Petroleum Products and Additives (DOE/TCPPA) developed, reviewed and subsequently promulgated by BPS the PNS/DOE QS 005:2016 and PNS/DOE QS 012:2016 as the latest and current standard specifications for liquefied petroleum gases for non-motor fuel and motor fuel respectively, superseding PNS/DOE QS 005:2005.

To effectively implement the Philippine National Standard for Liquefied Petroleum Gases, the DOE/TCPPA prepared a draft Department Circular entitled:

IMPLEMENTING THE MODIFIED PHILIPPINE NATIONAL STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS FOR LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GASES (PNS/DOE QS 005:2016 AND PNS/DOE QS 012:2016)

Enclosed is a copy of the draft department circular for your comments.

We appreciate receiving your comments/positions thru mail or email at alvin.lim@doe.gov.ph or tcppasecretariat@gmail.com on or before November 6, 2017 for it to be considered in the finalization of the department circular.  Non-receipt of your comments on the specified date shall be construed as an approval of the draft department circular.
