1 Amendment s to the Legal Inspection Requirements of Toys  
 
By the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI), Ministry of Economic Affairs  
 
 
Background:  
1. With  a view to enhancing the safety  of toys, the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection 
(BSMI) is proposing to adopt the updated version of CNS and ISO 8124 -1:2022  (contents 
related to flying toys  only) as inspection standards.  
2. The BSMI  is proposing to remov e 2 categories of  toys (Stuffed toys and Blocks ) from the list of 
products subject to Monitoring Inspection  (MI)  or Registration of Product Certification  (RPC) . 
These products are assessed to be of low risk and shall be subject to the conformity assessment 
procedure of Declaration of Conformity  (DOC) , which requires tests to be performed at  
designated testing laboratories and a declar ation of  conformity be issued for declaring that the 
products comply with relevant inspection standards.  
3. The conformity assessment procedures remain the same, i.e. MI , RPC or DOC . 
 
Proposed date of implementatio n: 1st March 2024

Description of the conformity assessment procedures :  
1. MI:  4 (1) The Monitoring Inspection Scheme is a simplified batch -by-batch inspection scheme, 
based on a confidence building process. When a number of b atches of a certain commodity 
have successfully passed batch -by-batch inspection, the inspection of that commodity may 
be conducted in the manner of batch -by-batch verification, randomly selected batch 
inspection, document examination or monitoring program . 
(2) An application shall apply to the inspection authority of the entry port upon arrival of the 
commodities or to the one located at the manufacturing location before 
domestically -manufactured commodities are shipped out of the production premises. The 
application for inspection can be made through visit in person, mail or the Internet.  
(3) When making the application, an applicant shall complete an application form and pay the 
inspection fees.  Fee for Monitoring Inspection  is 0.25% of CIF per batch . 
(4) The obligat ed person  shall apply to the BSMI or BSMI branch office, depending on the 
jurisdiction area the BSMI assigned, for registration and a registration number  (M00000)  
will be given to be affixed to the products.  
2. RPC:  
(1) Under this procedure, manufacturers  or impo rters must have their products type -tested 
by the BSMI or BSMI -designated testing laboratories [type test (Mod ule 2)] before 
applying for registration of their products. Manufacturers or importers are also required 
to ensure by declaration [declaration of conformity to type (Mod ule 3)] that all products 
made at their manufacturing facilities are in conformity with the prototypes submitted 
for type testing in Module 2. 
(2) Products will be allowed to use the Commodity Inspection Mark with the letter “R” and 
the identification number given by the BSMI,  after they are certified and registered with 
the BSMI. These products can then clear  customs directly without any further inspection. 
The application fee  and the annual fee for RPC are NT$5,000 and NT$200 respective ly 
for each type of product, and a RPC certificate is valid for three years.  
3. DOC: 
(1) Under this procedure, manufacturers or importers  shall apply to the BSMI or BSMI 
branch office, depending on the jurisdiction area the BSMI assigned, for registration and 
a registration number  (D00000)  will be given to be affixed to the products. The fee for 
registration is NT$ 1,000.  
(2) The manufacturer or importer  shall prepare relevant technical documents to assure that 
the commodity conforms to the inspection standards, and s hall, based on such technical 
documents, execute and issue a declaration of conformity . 
(3) The testing of the commodity  shall be conducted by the BSMI or BSMI -designated 
testing laboratories.  The manufacturer shall adopt control measures  to ensure that the 
product conforms to the specifications set forth in the technical documents. The quality 
of such products shall be consistent with that of the samples used in the testing described 
in the test reports annexed to the technical documents.  
(4) In case the commodity  is altered, the importer or manufacturer  shall execute and issue a 
new declaration to ensure that the commodity  conform s to the inspection standards.  
(5) The obligat ed person  shall keep the declaration of conformity and relevant technical 
documents for 5 year s.
