1Proposal for Legal Inspection of Babies ' garments and clothing accessories  
By the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI), Ministry of Economic Affairs 
 
 
Background: 
In view of the fact that the processing of tex tile products usually have to adding various kinds of 
dyes, auxiliaries and finishing agents, and the agents may c ontain more or less harmful 
chemicals. When these tiny chemicals in the tex tiles accumulate to a ce rtain amount, they will 
cause harmful effects to the sk in, and even the human health. For protecting the health and 
safety of babies, the BSMI, after having consulte d with interested parties, intends to regulate 
Babies' garments and clothing accessories.  
Proposed date of implementation:   
‧1 January 2011
