 Proposal for Amendment s to the Legal Requirements for Fans and 6 
Other Electrical Appliances  
 
By the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection, Ministry of Economic Affairs  
 
Introduction:  
In response to  the safety concerns of secondary batteries which resulted in increasing  incidents  
of explosion , the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) proposes to include  
products  with secondary  cells/batteries  in the inspection  scope  based on a staged approach . 
This proposal covers fans and 6 other electrical appliances and the secondary  lithium  
cells/batteries  used by these products shall comply with CNS 15364: 2013 and Section s 
7.3.8.1 "vibration " and 7.3.8.2 "mechanical shock " of CNS 62133 -2: 2018. Relevant 
administrative arrangements for products already certified are provided.

 Example s:  
 RoHS  (Pb) indicates that the percentage content of Pb in certain parts of the 
commodity exceeds the  reference percentage  value specified in Annex A to CNS 
15663.  
 RoHS  (Cd, Cr+6, PBB ) indicates that the percentage content of Cd, Cr+6, and PBB in 
certain parts of  the commodity exceeds the respective reference percentage value 
specified in Annex A to CNS  15663.  
6. The C.C.C. Code listed in the table is used for reference only. The commodity listed in the

though their C.C.C. Code is  identified differently by the Customs Administration, Ministry 
of Finance or Bureau of Foreign Trade,  Ministry of Economic Affairs . 
7. The inspection standards of the products listed in the table shall be the version published in 
this announcement. If any updated version is available, the BSMI shall publish the 
implementation date of  the updated version in further announcement . 
8. National deviation : The supply cords sh all at least comply with CNS 15767 -1 “Plugs and 
socket -outlets for h ousehold and similar purposes -Part 1: General requirements .” Class 0 
structure does not be allowed . 
9. Commodities with combined features  or multifunction al products  shall comply with the 
respective inspection standards and conformity assessment procedures of RPC  scheme .
