Ms. Maria Camille D. Palis of the Metrology in Biology Section of the DOST-ITDI National Metrology Division presented her poster “Development of Proficiency Test Materials for Dairy Products” during the poster session of the IMEKO TC8-TC11-TC24 Joint Conference 2026.

The study was co-authored by Ms. Nina Mae DC Santos, Ms. Rosa Ella M. Felipe, Ms. Ronnalyn C. De Vera, Mr. Christopher Bryan D. Polido, Ms. Agnes P. De Asis and Mr. Marlon Sa. Aguinaldo.

🧪 Proficiency testing provides an independent and objective way to assess whether laboratories can produce accurate and reliable results. For dairy products, dependable microbiological testing is essential to quality assurance, regulatory compliance, consumer protection and food safety.

Philippine laboratories currently rely on overseas providers for certain microbiological proficiency testing schemes, resulting in higher costs and importation restrictions that can limit participation. Developing local proficiency test materials can make these services more accessible and affordable while helping laboratories satisfy ISO/IEC 17025 requirements and regularly evaluate their technical competence.

🥛 The study supports the development of stronger local testing capabilities and greater confidence in microbiological results used by regulators and the dairy industry. Through this work, NMD contributes to a more responsive and self-reliant national laboratory system that directly supports public health and food safety.

Ms. Clarissa G. Manguin of the Metrology in Chemistry Section of the DOST-ITDI National Metrology Division presented the poster “Establishing Metrological Traceability in Elemental Analysis: Development of a Candidate Reference Material for Cd, Hg and Pb in Mussels” during the poster session of the IMEKO TC8-TC11-TC24 Joint Conference 2026.

The study was co-authored by Mr. Janesky O. Esplana, Mr. Ian Deniell S. Magsino, Mr. Aaron C. Dacuya and Ms. Alleni T. Junsay.

🦪 Mussels are widely consumed and can accumulate toxic elements from their environment. Reliable measurement of cadmium, mercury and lead is therefore essential to seafood safety, public health monitoring and confidence in laboratory results.

A locally developed mussel reference material provides Philippine laboratories with a relevant tool for method validation, quality control and proficiency testing. It supports metrological traceability, improves the comparability of results among laboratories and can lessen dependence on costly imported reference materials.

🔬 The work also strengthens the ability of food safety laboratories to produce dependable data for regulators, seafood producers and consumers. Through this study, NMD advances the development of accessible Philippine reference materials that respond directly to the country’s food safety and measurement needs.

Mr. Argielou A. Flores, Head of the Mass Standards Section of the DOST-ITDI National Metrology Division, presented his poster “Assessment of Conventional Mass Drift in Working Mass Standards” to participants at the IMEKO TC8-TC11-TC24 Joint Conference 2026.

The study focuses on the long-term stability of working mass standards used to calibrate and verify non-automatic weighing instruments. These standards form a critical link between the country’s national measurement standards and the balances and scales used in laboratories, manufacturing, commerce and other sectors.

📊 Monitoring mass drift is essential because even small changes in a working standard can be transferred to instruments during calibration, affecting the reliability of subsequent measurements. Regular assessment helps laboratories preserve metrological traceability, establish appropriate recalibration intervals and confirm that their standards remain fit for use.

The study goes beyond the mass laboratory environment. Reliable weighing supports fair trade, consistent product quality, regulatory compliance, credible scientific research and public confidence in transactions and services that depend on accurate mass measurements.

🔬 Through this poster, NMD explains the importance of long-term measurement data and effective quality control in protecting the country’s mass measurement traceability chain.

Dr. Maryness I. Salazar, Head of the Pressure and Force Standards Section of the DOST-ITDI National Metrology Division, presented the study “Low-Cost Barometer Calibration Using a Desiccant Jar-Based Vacuum Chamber in the Philippines” at the IMEKO TC8-TC11-TC24 Joint Conference 2026.

Co-authored by Engr. Sarah Jane T. Digay, the study explores a practical and affordable approach to developing barometer calibration capability using equipment that is more accessible to laboratories.

🌡️ Barometers provide essential atmospheric pressure measurements for meteorological and environmental monitoring. Ensuring that these instruments are properly calibrated and traceable to national measurement standards is undeniably significant to the reliability of the data they produce. Specialised calibration chambers, however, can be costly in the Philippines and difficult to acquire, particularly for laboratories establishing new capabilities.

Although still under continuous improvement, the study addresses this challenge by examining how locally available laboratory equipment can support a resource-efficient and scalable calibration system. Such an approach can help lower the barriers to establishing calibration services, expand access to traceable measurements and strengthen confidence in atmospheric pressure data.

🔬 Through this work, NMD proves how scientific rigour, practical engineering and resourcefulness can be combined to develop measurement solutions suited to Philippine needs and resources.

Ms. Alleni T. Junsay, Head of the Metrology in Chemistry Section of the DOST-ITDI National Metrology Division, presented her study on the performance of Philippine laboratories in analysing heavy metals in seafood during the IMEKO TC8-TC11-TC24 Joint Conference 2026.

Co-authored by Ms. Clarissa G. Manguin, Ms. April Star L. Canonizado and Mr. Aaron C. Dacuya, the study highlights the value of accuracy-based proficiency testing using metrologically traceable reference values.

🐟 Accurate measurement of toxic elements in seafood is important to food safety, consumer protection, regulatory monitoring and the competitiveness of Philippine seafood products. Proficiency testing helps ensure that laboratory results are not only consistent with one another but are also scientifically accurate and traceable to recognised measurement standards.

The study provides an important basis for identifying laboratory capability gaps, directing technical training and improving analytical methods, calibration practices and measurement uncertainty evaluation. Strengthening these areas leads to more dependable laboratory data for regulators, producers, exporters and consumers.

🌏 Through this presentation, NMD reinforces its role in building national confidence in laboratory measurements and ensuring that decisions affecting public health and trade are supported by reliable and internationally traceable results.
