Upgrading, Improvement/ Expansion Of FPRDI Testing Laboratories

Program Leader: Aimee Beatrix R. Habon

This program involves upgrading/modernizing the ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited and non-accredited laboratories to offer continuous quality service to customers. FPRDI aspires for all its testing laboratories to be ISO/IEC-compliant to acquire sound management and recognition for the technical competence for all the type of tests it undertakes. This should be done for the expansion of current services of FPRDI Testing Laboratories which presently include only the testing laboratories of Pulp and Paper, Plywood and Furniture. With this program, other testing laboratories of FPRDI such as FPRDI Pulp and Paper Chemical Testing, Herbarium and Xylarium, Chemistry, Pallets and Packaging, Fire Testing, Calibration, Wood preservation, Wood Anatomy, and Physical and Mechanical Testing, Biomass and Energy Testing and Structural Testing laboratories will be included and prepared for ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 accreditation.

Forest Products Technology Transfer


Program Leader: Maria Cielito G. Siladan

The FPRDI has long been supporting the technology needs of the forest-based micro, small and medium scale enterprises (MSMEs) through its Technical Services Division (TSD). This is because the Institute acknowledges the important roles of MSMEs in alleviating poverty in the forest-based communities. The MSMEs provide livelihood opportunities to almost 20 million upland residents.

TSD manages the techno-transfer activities of FPRDI. It promotes and transfers its technologies ready for commercialization, in partnership with the concerned Technology Maker, the FPRDI Management and DOST Regional Offices. The techno-transfer activities of FPRDI are geared to improving/enhancing the productivity, efficiency and competitiveness of its MSME customers in both local and international markets.
