SAFETY AND EMC
The “Registration
of Product Certification” came into effect on
Jan 1st, 2000 according to the “Measures Governing
Registration of Product Certification”, which
was established in pursuance of Article 7(2) of the
Commodity Inspection Act on July 28, 1999.
Commodities, which are announced as subject to import
inspection, shall not be imported into Taiwan unless they
have passed inspection and have been certified. For import
commodities, which are subject to inspection, importers
have to apply for product registration from the “Bureau
of Standards, Metrology and Inspection, Ministry of Economic
Affairs” (BSMI, MOEA) through “Registration
of Product Certification” or “Lot-Inspection”.
The transition period of “Lot-Inspection”
will be ended by end of 2002.
According to the “Measures Governing Registration
of Product Certification”, there are 138 electrical
commodities and 103 electronic commodities announced as
subject to import inspection, coming into effect on Jan
1, 2000. Both function safety and EMC testing are required
as announced. For commodities, which are not subject to
inspection, there is no approval requirement. Luminaries
will take effect on July 1, 2001.
The certification mark with Registration No. (8 digits)
of “Registration of Product Certification”
consists of both Safety and EMC approval.
The validity of the “Certificate of the Registration
of Product Certification” is 3 years.

country thus not a member under CB Scheme, thus CB Certificate
and CB Test Report is not acceptable in Taiwan.
The safety test is based on Chinese National Standards
(CNS). Some of the CNS are similar to International
Standards (IEC). Type test report shall be issued or
granted by the competent inspection authority (not-for-profit
organization in this case) such as
i. Electronics Testing Center. Taiwan (ETC)
ii. Industrial Technology Research Institute/Electric
Research Service Organization (ERSO/ITRI)
iii. Taiwan Electric Research and Testing Center (TERTEC)
