Proposal for inspection requirements including marking of  the presence 
conditions of the restricted substance s on the legal inspection for 92 items of 
electrical and electronic products  
 
By the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection  (BSMI), Ministry  of Economic Affairs  MOEA  
 
Introduction:  
  In order to encourage industries to reduce the use of restricted chemical substances in electrical and 
electronic equipment s and to control  the restricted chemical substances at  each stage of the supply chain and 
life cycle of electrical and electronic e quipment s, also to promote the  awareness of consumers  on effective 
utilization of resources and reduction of environmental burden, the BSMI proposes  that manufacturer s or 
importer s shall follow the requirements stipulated in  Section 5 “ Marking of presence ” of CNS 15663 (2013.7)  
and clearly mark  “the presence conditions of the restricted substance”  (i.e. Marking of p resence ) on the body, 
packages,  stickers, or the instruction  books of “Radio Keyboard”  92 items of electrical and electronic products  
(as the fol lowing Table I & Table II).  
 
The conformity assessment procedures remain the same, i.e. Registration o f Product Certification (RPC),   
Type -approved Batch Inspection (TABI)  or Declaration of Conformity  (DoC) .  
 
Proposed da te of implementation:  
1 January 2018.

The three  kinds of conformity assessment schemes  for the  commodities are as follows:  
1. Registration of Product Certification (RPC) Scheme (Module II+III; Module II+ IV or II+V or 
II+VII)  
Under this scheme, domestic manufacturers or importers must have their products type- tested in 
advance ( Module  II) by the BSMI or BSMI -recognized testing laboratories before applying for registration 
of their products. Manufacturers or importers will also be required to ensure by declaration (Module III) that 
all products whether made at their manufacturing facilities or imported are in conformity with the prototypes 
submitted for type test at Module II stage.  
In addition, the quality  management systems of the production premises must be in conformity with 
Module IV (full quality assurance), Module V (production quality assurance) or Module VII (factory inspection). For Module IV and Module V, they are required to get certification in accordance with the CNS 
12680 (ISO 9000) series of standards. As for Module VII, it is required to obtain a factory inspection report 
issued by the BSMI or BSMI -recognized factory inspection bodies. A declaration of conformity is also 
require d to ensure the quality of the m ass-produced commodities is  in conformity with that shown in the 
type-test report.  
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 pass through customs directly without any further inspection if not be sampled by RPC 
border check procedure. The application fee and annual fee for RPC are both NT$5,000(about US$170) for 
each certifi cation, and the RPC certifications are valid for three years. If there are any serial products, the 
extra NT$3,000(about US$102) of application fee is needed for every application in each certification.  
The fees for type testing vary by products and depend  on the fee schedule of the testing laboratories.  
2. Type -approved Batch Inspection (TABI) Scheme  
Under this scheme, manufacturers or importers shall have their products type- tested by the BSMI or 
BSMI -recognized testing laboratories, and then file an appl ication for type approval with the BSMI or its 
branches.  
After manufacturers or importers have obtained a type -approval certificate, they are still required to file 
an application for batch inspection with the BSMI each time before their products arrive at  the port of entry. 
The BSMI will then perform inspection with simplified procedures. Additional samples may be required for 
further testing if it is deemed necessary.  Products will  be allowed to use the Commodity Inspection Mark 
with the letter ‘T’ and th e identification number given by the BSMI, after they have passed the inspection .  
The application fee for a type approval is NT$3,500, and a type approval certificate is generally valid for 
three years.  
The fees for type testing vary by products and depend on the fee schedule of the testing laboratories.  
3. Declaration of Conformity (DoC)  Scheme  
The DoC announced by the BSMI to be applicable to certain products allows the manufacturer to have 
the testing done by laboratories on his choice from laboratories  designated by the BSMI, to prepare the 
technical documents on his own, and to draw up the declaration declaring the conformity of his products with relevant standards. These products are placed under market surveillance conducted by the BSMI. This 
post-market control approach, instead of pre -market control or border control, will save time and cost for the 
manufacturer comparing to those required for product approval or registration. Products that are allowed to 
apply the DoC procedure may be imported without being blocked by the customs for inspection.  
The DoC has the following features:  
Remove border control measures or the requirement for ex -factory inspection.  
Apply to the BSMI or the testing laboratories designated by the BSMI for conducting the test.  
The manufacturer shall prepare relevant technical documents, and shall draw up a Declaration of Conformity. 
Both the technical documents and Declaration of Conformity shall be kept by the manufacturer for an 
applicable period.  
The manufacturer or importer shall apply to the BSMI or BSMI branch office for registration and a 
registration number for the DoC marking will be given to the manufacture to be affixed to the products.  
The DoC marking must be affixed to the body of the products.  
 
Further information a bout the three  schemes is also available on the BSMI web site 
at 
http://www.bsmi.gov.tw/wSite/ct?xItem=8673&ctNode=811&mp=2  
Related requirements:  
1. The revised inspection standards of  the commodities listed above will come into force  from the date of 
announcement and the original  inspection standards will automatically become in valid from  January 1st 
2018.  2. The certificate holders of the commodities shall  follow  the content  stipulated i n Section 5 “ Marking of 
presence ” of CNS 15663  and clearly mark  “the presence conditions of the restricted substance ” on the 
body, package s, stickers, or the instruction books of the commodities . For those who utilize  website as a 
means to announce “the pr esence conditions of the restricted substance”  of the commodities  shall  also 
clearly  mark  the website address on the body, package s, stickers,  or the instruction books of the  
commodities .  
3. The treatment of Certificate s (for commodities listed in Table  I): 
(1) Replacement : 
Before 31 December 2017, the  certificate holders shall  prepare  documents related to the location of the 
marking  of presence , sample  of the marking of presence  (see Table 1 and Table 2) , and the “ Declaration 
of the Presence Con dition of the Restricted Substances Marking ” to apply for re placing the  certificate( s) 
from the BSMI or its branches.  Otherwise, certificate (s) will be rescinded . After replacement  of 
certificate(s) , the expiry date of the replaced certificate is the same as that of the original certificate.  
(2) New a pplication  or extension:  
From the date of publication, applicant s shall  prepare  documents related to the location  of the marking 
of presence, sample  of the marking of presence (see Table 1 and Table 2) , and the “Declaration of the 
Presence Condition of the Restricted Substances Marking ” to apply for  certificate (s). If applicant s
