Pursuant to the efforts of DOTC/LTO in reference to the mandate provided by Republic Act No. 8749, otherwise known as the Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999 and the elimination of non-appearance issues during smoke emission testing, it is hereby promulgated that Private Emission Testing Centers are given option to directly connect to the LTO-IT System through the PETC Direct Facility. Accordingly, to ensure the compliance of the PETC Direct Facility to the set requirements of this Office, the system shall be initially implemented on testing mode prior to its full implementation.

As such, all Certificates of Emission Compliance (CEC) from PETCs utilizing the said facility must be accepted for registration purposes in all applicable LTO District and/or Extension Offices.

For strict compliance.
