QuestionsQuestions (LTO MEMORANDUM)
It directed actions to ensure compliance with the EWD requirement, including maximizing public information about public safety, enforcing technical compliance, and preventing improper sale/solicitation of EWDs.
It cites the country’s international commitment to comply with the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, implemented in the Philippines through LOI 229 and Administrative Order No. 1, Series of 1973.
It means that EWDs must meet the specific requirements set by applicable laws and/or regulations, and compliance must be measured against those prescribed technical specifications.
It states that sourcing of EWDs shall be left to the end users without any recourse to accreditation.
No. The Memorandum explicitly provides that there is no recourse to accreditation for sourcing EWDs; end users may obtain them from available sources.
No vehicle shall be registered for both new and renewal without presentation of the EWD.

The LTO is directed to maximize public information on the public safety aspect of the EWD requirement to encourage compliance.
