1 Proposal for Amendment  to Legal Inspection of  Glulam  
By the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI), Ministry of Economic Affairs  
 
Background:  
Glulam  has been subject to mandatory inspection under the Commodity Inspection Act by the 
Bureau of Standards , Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) since 15 October  2010. The inspection 
standard s CNS 11029  for glulam for decorative use , CNS 11030 for overlaid glulam for decorative 
use and CNS 11032 for o verlaid glulam posts for structural use  were promulgated  on 9 October 
2014, and CNS 11031 for structural glued -laminated timber  was promulgated on  18 December  
2014. The BSMI intends to adopt the revised standards CNS 11029, CNS 11030, CNS 11031 and 
CNS 11032 as inspection standards, in order to enhance consumer  protection . 
 
Besides, the BSMI will revise  the Description  of Goods of glulam [see Products (HS/CCCN codes) 
covered and applicable inspection standards] . 
 
Proposed date of implementation:  To be determined
