BUSINESS PROCESS (Chemical and Microbiological Testing Laboratories)
1. Customer (person submitting a sample) registers at the guard house. 2. Customer proceeds to RSTL office at the second floor of the building
and upon instruction of the guard on duty. 3. Sample Receiving Officer (SRO) checks if the sample to be submitted
is valid and if a sterile sampling bottle is required.
If the sample is valid: 1. If sample is valid and sterile bottle is not required, customer gives
information to the SRO for the Test Request Form (TRF). 2. Upon completion of TRF, customer pays total cost of fees to the
Cashier in the first floor and claims Official Receipt (OR) of payment. 3. Customer comes back to the RSTL office, shows the OR and gets
duplicate copy of the TRF. 4. Customer claims Report of Analysis on the date due stated in the TRF.
Reports of analysis are issued only to the person who submitted the sample or to an authorized representative.
If a sterile bottle is required: 1. Customer gives information for the TRF upon instruction of SRO. 2. Customer pays to the Cashier at the 1st floor the partial payment of
P600 for drinking water samples or P500 for environmental samples and gets OR of payment.
3. Customer goes back to the RSTL office, shows OR and claims sterile sampling bottle and gets instructions on sampling schedule, sampling procedure, and handling of samples.
4. Customer comes back to the RSTL to submit valid samples.
If sample is invalid: Customer gets instructions on submission of valid samples and comes back on the scheduled date.
Note: The customer replaces loss, breakage, or damage to borrowed sampling bottles.

BUSINESS PROCESS (Regional Metrology Laboratory)
1. Customer (person submitting an item) registers at the guard house. 2. Customer proceeds to RML Office upon instruction of the guard on
duty. 3. Receiving officer checks if the request is an on-site or in-house
calibration.
If On-Site: 1. Customer writes letter requesting for on site calibration schedule. 2. Customer returns to RML to accompany staff to On-Site Location on
their scheduled date. 3. If an item(s) from RML needs to be borrowed, customer fills up item
borrowers slip. 4. The customer then proceeds to the Work Request Form procedure.
If In-House: 1. The receiving officer checks if the item is valid for calibration. 2. If the item is not valid, the customer requests instructions for item
validity. 3. If the item is valid, the customer proceeds to the Work Request Form
procedure.
Work Request Form Procedure: 1. Customer and Item Receiving Officer fill up the Work Request Form
(WRF). 2. Customer pays total cost of fees to the Cashier, and claims the Official
Receipt (OR). 3. Customer comes back to Receiving Officer, and shows OR. 4. Customer returns borrowed items (if applicable) after calibration has
been conducted. 5. Customer claims Certificate of Calibration and items on due date (An
authorized representative may claim the certificate of calibration).
