 Proposal for Amendments to the Legal Inspection Requirements for  Wireless 
Charger s 
 
By the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI), Ministry of Economic Affairs  (MOEA.)  
 
Introduction:  
In response to the concerns raised about high non -compliance rate of wireless chargers, which are allowed to 
complete the conformity assessment procedure (Registration of Product Certification, RPC) before they are 
placed on the market, the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) proposes to revise the time 
of completing the conformity assessment procedure to before the products are imported or transported out of 
the production premises. The procedure of Type -Approved Batch Inspe ction (TABI) will also be provided as 
an alternative to RPC. Business operators may choose the appropriate procedure depending on their needs. A 
specific Commodity Classification Code (C.C.C. Code) is assigned to wireless chargers for customs clearance 
for this purpose.  
  
Proposed date of implementation:  1 August  2022

medical devices or telecommunications 
terminal equipment)  8504.40.99.20.5 RPC Scheme 
(Modules II+III)  
or 
TABI Scheme  
 
Description of the t hree kinds of conformity assessment procedures  
 
1. Registration of Product Certification (RPC) Sch eme: Modules II+I II 
Under the II+III combination of modules used in this scheme, domestic manufacturers or importers 
must have their products type -tested in advance (Module II) by the BSMI or BSMI -designated testing 
laboratories before applying for registration  of their products. Manufacturers or importers will also be 
required to ensure by declaration (Module III, conformity -to-type declaration) that all products made at 
their manufacturing  facilities or imported are in conformity with the prototypes submitted for type -test at 
Module II stage.  
 
2. Type -Approved Batch Inspection (TABI) Scheme  
Under this procedure, manufacturers or importers shall have their products type -tested by the BSMI or 
BSMI -designated testing laboratories, and file an application for Type Ap proval to the BSMI or its 
branches.  
After manufactu rers or importers obtain a Type  Approval certificate, they are required to file an 
application for batch inspection to the BSMI each time before their products are released from the 
production premises or arrive at the port of entry. The BSMI will then review the application and the 
related documents while additional samples may be required for further testing if it is deemed necessary.  
After the products have passed the inspection, they will be allowed to  use the Commodity Inspection 
Mark with the letter ‘T’ and the identification number given by the BSMI. The application fee for the Type 
Approval is NT$3,500, and a Type Approval certificate is valid for three years. The fees for type testing 
vary by produ cts and depend on the fee policies of the testing laboratories.  
 
3. Further information about the  two schemes is  also available on the BSMI web site at  
https://www.bsmi.gov.tw/wSite/lp?ctNode=9768&CtUnit=4132&BaseDSD=7&mp=2

 Locations to apply for Registration  of Product Certification  or Type -Approved Batch Inspection : 
The BSMI or its branches.  
 
Time required for Registration of Product Certification:  
14 working days. (This period does not include the time for corrective actions by the applicant due to 
deficien cies in the documents or samples. Extra seven  working days may be required if additional tests are 
required.)  
 
Related requirements:  
1. The CCC Code will be given a import regulation code C02 beginning 1 August 2022, which will reguire  
presenting documents demonstrating completion of the conformity assessment procedures.  
2. Locations to apply for type testing: BSMI -designated testing laboratories.  
3. Locations to apply for RPC and Type Approval Certificate : the BSMI or its branches.  
4. Location s to apply for  batch inspection : the BSMI or its branches.  
5. Time required for granting RPC or Type Approval Certificate : 14 working days  (not includ ing the time for 
corrective actions by the applicant due to deficiencies in the documents or samples. An e xtra 7 working 
days may be required for additional tests.)  
6. The technical documents and their attache ments required for type testing shall co mply with the 
requirement s specified in the “Directions Governing Type Approval of Electrical and Electronic 
Commodities”.  
7. The type testing fee s for the listed products shall be charged according to the fee schedule of testing 
laborator ies. 
8. The related charges for the RPC and TABI  shall be collected  in accordance with the relevant provisions of 
the “Regulations Governing Fees for Commodity Inspection .” 
9. For the requirement  of Section 5 “Marking of presence” of CNS 15663, the certificate holders of the 
commodities shall clearly mark the presence condit ion of the restricted substances on the body, packages, 
stickers, or the instruction books of the commodities. Those who utilize website as a means to announce 
the presence condition of the restricted substances of the commodities shall clearly mark the we bsite 
address on the body, packages, stickers, or the instruction books of the commodities . 
10. The Commodity  Inspection Mark:  
(1) The Commodity Inspection Mark shall be printed by the certificate holders. The identification number of 
the Commodity Inspection Mark  consists of “Letter (R or T),” “Designated Code ( five digits)” and the 
presence conditions of the restricted substance (e.g., RoHS or RoHS (XX,XX)).  
(2) The identification number shall be placed below or to the right of the graphic symbol and the presence 
conditions of the restricted substance shall be indicated in the second row.  
(3) The size  of the Mark can be applied proportionally on a prominent location of the commodities. The 
Mark shall use materials that are not easily altered, and the content shall be in a clearly  identifiable and 
indelible form affixed permanently  to the commodity .

 does not exceed the reference percentage value of presence condition.  
“RoHS (XX,XX)” indicates the content of restricted substance(s) (element XX, element XX, …), other 
than exemptions stated in CNS 15663, exceeds the reference percentage value of presence condition.  
The restricted substances: indicates Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr+6, PBB, and PBDE.  
Example s:  
 RoHS (Pb): indicates that th e Pb percentage content in certain parts of the commodity exceeds the 
reference percentage value of presence condition.  
 RoHS (Cd, Cr+6, PBB): indicates that the Cd, Cr+6, and PBB percentage content in certain parts of the 
commodity exceed the reference per centage value of presence condition respectively.
