1 Amendments to Legal Inspection  Requirements  of Thermal Paper  
 
By the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI), Ministry of Economic Affairs  
 
Background:  
The reason for the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) to introduce this 
amendment is that the C .C.C Code of some thermal paper  subject to mandatory inspection was 
not identified in the previous version. In the new version of the legal inspection requirements, 14 
“Reference C.C.C. Code s” are provided. In addition, the inspection  standards are updated while 
the inspection scope and items remain the same. The amendments are effective starting from the 
day of announcement. No matter produced domestically or imported, thermal papers must be in 
compliance with the inspection requireme nts before they are released from the production 
premises or the customs.
