The DTI Guimaras Provincial Office recently
conducted an inspection of motorcycle helmets being sold in retail stores here.
The activity ensures compliance with
Motorcycle Helmet Act No. 10054, series of 2011 and in consonance with the DTI Department
Administrative Order No. 02:2007 or the Product Standards Law.
Republic Act 10054 or the Motorcycle
Helmet Act secures the safety of drivers of motorcycles and their passengers
from injurious effects of fatal or life threatening accidents and crashes. Moreover,
the Product Standards Law requires all manufacturers to affix a Product Safety (PS)
sticker on locally-made helmets and Import Commodity Clearance (ICC) sticker on
imported one.
There were 15 stores selling motorcycle
helmets covered by the monitoring.
