SUBJECT : Policies and Guideli nes on the Regulation of Water Treatment  
Devices/ Systems in the Philippines  
 
I. RATIONALE  
 
The Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations of Chapter II - “Water Supply” 
of the Code on Sanitation of the Philippines (PD 856) provides that “Any person or entity, 
firm or company involved  in the manufacture and sale of water purification  equipment, 
gadgets and devices including household water filters and water purifiers and similar 
apparatus imported or locally made shall submit an application to the Department of Health 
through the Bure au of Health Devices and Technology , now the Food and Drug 
Administration - Center for Device Regulation, Radiation Health and Research  (FDA -
CDRRHR) for review, testing and certification before they could market the said 
equipment, gadgets or devices. To i mplement this provision, Administrative Order 2005 -
0003 entitled “Guidelines on the Issuance of Certificate of Product Registration for Water 
Purification Equipment and Devices” and its subsequent amendments (AO 2005 -0003 -A, 
AO 2005 -0003 -B and AO 2005 -0003 -C) were issued by the Department of Health (DOH).  
 
The above policies cover only the issuance of the Certificate of Product 
Registration (CPR) for the above -mentioned health products and do not include the 
licensing of manufacturers, importers and other establishments involved in the distribution 
of water treatment devices/systems and p rovisions for donated water purification 
devices/systems .  
 
Republic Act 9711, otherwise known as the “Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 
Act of 2009” through its Implement ing Rules and R egulations (IRR) provides for the 
issuance of a License to Operate to concerned establishments under its jurisdiction. It also 
mandated the FDA to develop and /or issue po licies, standards and authorizations  that 
would cover establishments and health products to enhance and improve its health products 
regulatory system . To carry out the se mandates and to effectively implement the regulation 
of water treatment devices/systems in the Philippines , there is a need to supplement and 
amend the provisions of the above -stated A dministrative Orders (AOs) . The DOH through  
the FDA  – CDRRHR hereby issues these  policies and guidelines revising and 
supplementing Administrative Order 2005 -0003.
