TÍTULO: Aviso de prohibición indefinida de productos peligrosos (imanes pequeños muy potentes), 
de 2014. 
ORGANISMO: Servicio de normas de comercializaci ón, Ministerio de Empresa, Innovación y Empleo 
MEDIDA: El Aviso de prohibición indefinida notificado sentará de forma permanente la prohibición 
temporal de productos peligrosos (imanes pequeños muy potentes) notificada en 2013. 
RESUMEN: El Ministerio de Empresa, Innovación y Empleo de Nueva Zelandia había notificado al 
Comité OTC (en el documento G/TBT/N/NZL/66) un Aviso de 2013 relativo a productos peligrosos (imanes pequeños muy potentes). El objetivo de ese aviso era declarar que los imanes pequeños 
muy potentes no eran seguros y prohibir su venta en Nueva Zelandia durante 18 meses. 
El Aviso de prohibición indefinida de productos peligrosos (imanes pequeños muy potentes) de 
2014 prolonga las disposiciones del Aviso de 2013 y las establece con carácter permanente. El Aviso de prohibición indefinida de 2014 puede modificar el campo de aplicación del primero. 
Se considera que los imanes pequeños muy potentes presentan un riesgo inaceptable para los 
usuarios. Estos imanes están fabricados con neodimio y su potencia es varias veces superior a las de los imanes convencionales del mismo tamaño. En Nueva Zelandia y en otros países ha habido 
muchos incidentes que han causado lesiones graves a niños de menos de 3 años y en niños entre 
8 y 14 años y que han requerido cirugía mayor. Además al menos una persona ha muerto por esta causa en Queensland (Australia). Se producen lesion es si el niño ingiere dos o más imanes que se 
unen en el tracto digestivo. Esto puede causar inflamación, perforación, infección, incluso la 
muerte en casos extremos. Las partes interesadas consultadas para elaborar el aviso aconsejaron firmemente que se aplicara la medida notificada. 
El aviso se aplica a los juegos de dos o más iman es pequeños de alta potencia destinados a uso 
personal o doméstico. En el aviso notificado se establecen el tamaño y los criterios de intensidad 
del campo magnético de conformidad con la norma AS/NZS ISO 8124.1:2010.

 OF TAIWAN, PENGHU, KINMEN AND MATSU 
Notification under Article 5 of the Agreement: special safeguard: volume-based 
1. Description of product:  Chicken legs and wings 
2. Tariff item number:  02071311, 02071411, 02109912, 16023210 
3. Trigger level: 
 (as calculated in Annex 1)   121,426.8 tonnes 
4. Volume of imports entering 
 territory in current period  121,441.3 tonnes 
5. Period of application:  from 5  September 2014 to 31 December 2014 
 
SPECIAL SAFEGUARD: VOLUME-BASED: ANNEX 1 TO MA:3 
Information required for the calculation of the Trigger Level 
 
Imports in the 3 preceding years: 2010: 108,022.0 tonnes   2011: 103,081.0 tonnes 
  2012: 120,029.6 tonnes 
 Average: 110,377.5 tonnes 
 
And the import penetration is taken into account: 
 
Consumption in the 3 preceding years:  2010: 257,513.9 tonnes   2011: 259,907.8 tonnes 
  2012: 265,438.2 tonnes 
  Average: 260,953.3 tonnes  
Calculation of trigger level (pursuant to Article 5 of the Agreement on Agriculture): 
 Import penetration = 110,377.5/260,953.3 
 = 42.30% (base trigger therefore equals 105%) 
Trigger level = 110,377.5 tonnes x 105% + (265,438.2- 259,907.8) tonnes 
 = 121,426.8 tonnes  
 
Therefore, the trigger level is 121,426.8 tonnes.
