Abstract.
Honesty, justice and courtesy form a
moral philosophy which, associated
with mutual interest among men,
constitutes the foundation of ethics.
The electronics engineer should
recognize such a standard, not in
passive observance, but as a set of
dynamic principles guiding his
conduct and way of life. It is his duty
to practice his profession according
to this Code of Ethics and Conduct.
The keystone of professional conduct
is integrity. Hence, it behooves the
electronics engineer to discharge his
duties with fidelity to the public, his
employers and his clients, and with
fairness and impartiality to all. It is
his duty to interest himself in public
welfare, and to be ready to apply his

special knowledge for the benefit of

mankind. He should uphold the
honor and dignity of his profession
and avoid association with any
enterprise of questionable character.
In his dealings with fellow engineers,
he should be fair and tolerant.

will be made in accordance with an
Escalation Formula to be defined.
3.2
ENGINEERING
CONSULTATION
3.2.1 General. The rate of
compensation of an electronics
engineer will be commensurate with
his experience and expertise and with
the importance and value of the
activity covered. In addition to the
following recommended rates, the
client will pay for the cost of at least
business class transportation and
accommodation
if
the
meetings/hearings are conducted in a
place more than 50 kilometers away
from the established office of the
Consultant
. 3.2.2 Conference and Court
Appearance. For services rendered
by the electronics engineer relating to
rendering opinion or give advice;
clarification or explanation on
technical matters pertaining to
electronics
engineering
and
associated matters; or to appear as an

13

3.2.5 Special Consultation. The

professional
fee
for
special
consultation services as may be
required by clients will be
determined by the engineer to his
experience and expertise and the
amount of manhours that will be
required. The professional fee in
some cases is fixed by agreement
plus expenses or is based on a certain
percentage of the value of the
project.
3.3 DESIGN SERVICES
3.3.1 General. The project owner or
his representative inquires at the start
of the project how much would be
the designers fee. Basically, the
compensation should permit the
designer to cover all costs and net
him a reasonable profit. Among the
methods of determining the fee
which can be fair and reasonable
are :
a. Percent of Total Project Cost
Method
b. Percent of Cost Method
c. Unit Cost Method
d. Cost Plus Reasonable Profit
3.3.2 Percent of Total Project Cost
Method. The number of electronics
systems and equipment that are

required for a project determines the

complexity of the design. These
electronics systems and equipment
are the following but not limited to:
a.
Wired
or
wireless
telecommunications
systems,
including central office switching
equipment, remote switching units,
concentrators, PABX/PBX's, cordless
telephone systems, intercom, video
conferencing, terrestrial, submarine

n. Any other electronic and IT
systems,
equipment,
apparatus,
device and/or component that may be
developed in the future and installed
in buildings and structures where
safety to the users, operating
personnel and the general public is a
concern.
The more complex the design is, the
higher will be the percentage. The
complexity is thus categorized into
three (3) groups, as follows:
Group I The project with more than
five (5) of the above listed systems,
combined in one whole project, the
minimum basic design fee is one
percent (1%) of the total project cost.
Group II For project with three to
five (3 to 5) of the above listed
systems included in one whole
project, the minimum basic design
fee is 1.5% of the total project cost.
However in no case shall the design
fee be less than P6,000.00.
Group III For projects with one or
two (1 or 2) of the above listed
systems in one whole project, the
minimum basic design fee is 2% of

the total project cost. However, in no

case shall the basic design fee be less
than P3,000.00.
3.3.3 Percent of Cost Method. This
Method is similar to the Percent of
Total Project Cost Method except
that the percentage is not based on
total project cost but rather on the
cost of the complete electronics
installation. As in the previous
method, the basic design fee is based
on
the
complexity
of
the
requirements which is categorized
into three (3) groups, as follows:
(Groupings are same as one above).
Group I Minimum basic design fee
is 10% of cost of complete
electronics installation. In no case
will the basic design fee be less than
P10,000.00.
Group II Minimum design fee is
8% of cost of complete electronics
installation. In no case will the basic
design fee be less than P6,000.00.
Group III Minimum design fee is
6% of cost complete electronics
installation. In no case will the basic
design fee be less than P3,000.00.
3.3.4 Unit Cost Method. In cases
when a project involves alterations,
repairs, additions, modifications, etc.,
which do not involve a whole

project, the Unit Cost Method is very

convenient. The design fee is based
on the unit number of electronics
facilities that are included in the
design such as: number of terminal
equipment,
subscriber
station
equipment, etc.

Cost Plus Reasonable Profit

method. The amount or the
percentage of profit is to be agreed
upon between the designer and client
prior to the signing of the contract.
However, the percentage will not be
less than 25% of the profit cost.

In this method, the electronics

facilities
are
divided
into
classifications
which
have
corresponding unit design rates.

3.3.6 Per Diem of Traveling

Expenses. A per diem of not less than
P1,000.00 plus traveling and living
expenses will be chargeable to the
owner or any occasion where the
electronics designer will be required
to perform services in a locality
beyond a radius of fifty (50)
kilometers from his established
office.

For unit facilities/loads/equipment: a

fee of P100.00 per outlet for each,
but not limited to the systems listed
under Sec. 3.2.2.
For partial facilities of a whole
system, a minimum fee of P1,000.00
for each but not limited to the
