1 Proposal for Amendment  to Legal Inspection of  Toys  
 
By the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI), Ministry of Economic Affairs  
 
 
Background:  
With a view to adopting a risk -based approach to regulating toy safety, the Bureau of Standards, 
Metrology and Inspection is proposing removing 9 categories of  toys from the list of products 
subject to Monitoring Inspection or Registration of Product Certification. These products are 
assessed to be of low risk and shall be subject to the conformity asses sment procedure of 
Declaration of Conformity, which requires tests to be performed at designated testing laboratories 
and a declar ation of  conformity be issued declaring that the products comply with relevant 
inspection standards.   
 
Proposed date of implem entation:  To be determined  
 
Products (HS/CCCN  codes ) covered  in this notice :
