PhilFIDA Regional Office X Conducts Re-Orientation and Re-Examination for Fiber Classifiers

Date Posted September 2023

The Philippine Fiber Industry Development Authority (PhilFIDA) Region X conducted a re-orientation and re-examination for fiber classifiers on August 04, 2023, as a prerequisite for the renewal of their licenses. The primary objective of this process was to ensure that the skillsets possessed by licensed classifiers align seamlessly with the prevailing national standards concerning fiber grading and classification.

During the re-orientation phase, licensed fiber classifiers underwent a review of the industry standards designed to refresh their understanding of the intricacies associated with fiber grading and classification. This involved revisiting key concepts, methodologies, and best practices that form the foundation of accurate fiber classification. By updating their knowledge, they are better equipped to address the evolving demands of the industry and contribute effectively to the overall quality assurance process.

Following the re-orientation, the licensed classifiers proceeded to the re-examination phase, a crucial evaluation that assessed their grasp of the re-oriented concepts. The examination encompassed a range of theoretical and practical components, gauging classifiers' ability to accurately classify fibers according to their correct kinds and grades. This phase ensured that the classifiers' capabilities remained aligned with the current national standards, thereby maintaining the integrity of the fiber classification process.

Fiber Classifiers who successfully passed this rigorous evaluation will have their licenses re-issued, a testament to their continued expertise in fiber classification. This not only recognizes their commitment to professional development but also signifies their alignment with the highest industry standards.

This re-orientation and re-examination underscore the agency's dedication to fostering excellence within the fiber classification domain. By adhering to national standards and continuously updating the skillsets of licensed classifiers, PhilFIDA Region X actively contributes to enhancing the Philippine fiber industry's quality, reputation, and sustainability. This commitment sets a strong precedent to ensuring that competence remains at the forefront of sustainable development.
