BSMI Certification

Our specialists provide step-by-step assistance to help you secure BSMI Certification for entry into the Taiwan market, offering dedicated support throughout the entire process.

Introduction to BSMI Certification

The Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI), under Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), is the official authority responsible for developing, maintaining, and publishing the National Standards of the Republic of China (CNS). It also conducts conformity assessments to ensure that products meet safety and quality requirements.

BSMI Certification is a mandatory requirement for conducting business in Taiwan, and applies to a wide range of electronic and electrical products, including household appliances, telecommunications equipment, IT devices, and more.

Risks for Non-Compliance

Under Taiwan's Commodity Inspection Act, enforced by BSMI, non-compliant manufacturers, importers, or sellers may face severe penalties.

💰

Heavy Fines

Significant financial penalties for selling or importing products without required inspection or BSMI certification marks.

🔄

Product Recall

Non-compliant products may be subject to mandatory recalls, corrections, or destruction if they don't meet CNS standards.

⛔

Sales Suspension

Authorities may order suspension of sales, and non-compliant products may be confiscated.

⚖️

Legal Responsibility

Serious violations may involve legal liability, especially if public safety or consumer rights are endangered.

Type Approval and Batch Inspection

Validity: 3 Years

Manufacturers or importers must have their products type-tested by the BSMI or its recognised laboratories before applying for Type Approval. Once approved, they are required to submit a batch inspection request to the BSMI prior to product release or shipment.

Upon passing inspection, products receive the Commodity Inspection Mark bearing a "T" and an identification number.

Registration of Product Certification (RPC)

Validity: 3 Years

The RPC system streamlines product certification by offering seven modules, each designed to suit different product types and risk levels. It ensures flexibility for businesses while upholding safety and quality standards.

Self-Declaration of Conformity

No Expiry

This Declaration, announced by the BSMI (applicable to certain products) allows the manufacturer to have the testing done by laboratories of their choice instead of laboratories designated by the BSMI, to prepare the technical documents on their own, and to draw up the declaration declaring the conformity of their products with relevant standards.
