The Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) has maintained its ISO 9001:2015 certification and again received a “Very Satisfactory” performance rating from the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) for Fiscal Year 2025.
PhilSA said it passed its first ISO 9001:2015 surveillance audit conducted by TÜV Rheinland, an international testing, inspection, and certification provider.
The audit confirmed that the agency’s Quality Management System remained compliant with international standards across key operational areas, including space science and technology applications, research and development, policy and planning, education and capacity building, public resource-sharing, and international cooperation.
PhilSA Ad Interim Director General Gay Jane Perez said the recognition reflected the agency’s efforts to strengthen institutional systems and improve public service delivery.
“PhilSA’s maintenance of the ISO 9001:2015 certification and a consecutive ‘Very Satisfactory’ rating from DBM recognize the Agency’s consistent efforts to institutionalize robust systems and processes,” Perez said.
She added that the agency remains committed to “upholding global standards and the responsible utilization of public funds” while advancing the country’s goal of becoming a “space-capable and spacefaring nation.”
TÜV Rheinland also cited PhilSA’s collaboration with stakeholders, particularly in delivering space data and services that support national programs, as well as the agency’s monitoring and performance management systems.
Meanwhile, PhilSA received a 4.02 or “Very Satisfactory” rating in the DBM’s Annual Agency Performance Report for Fiscal Year 2025.
