Taiwan BSMI certification
Certification introduction
Taiwan's BSMI certification "Electrical Safety Code Inspection
Standard for Information Products" CNS14336-1 (99 edition) has been
implemented since January 1, 2012, and the previous version of
Taiwan's BSMI certification CNS 14336 (2005 edition) is no longer
applicable from the same date. Taiwan's BSMI certification CNS13438
(full version of 1995) announced on August 16, 2010 that the
"Inspection Standard CNS 13438 "Information Technology Equipment -
Radio Frequency Interference Characteristics - Limit Values and
Measurement Methods" has been newly implemented to implement
radiation testing above 1GHz. and Telecommunications Port Conducted
Test Item Inspection Regulations", which came into effect on
October 1, 2010. BSMI is the abbreviation of the English "Bureau of
Standards, Metrology and Inspection" of the Bureau of Standards and
Inspection of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan.
Taiwan voltage: single-phase 110V/220, three-phase 220V, frequency
60Hz.

Authentication mode
BSMI certification in Taiwan, China is mandatory and requires both
EMC and SAFETY. However, BSMI currently does not have factory
inspections, but must follow the regulations of the Bureau of
Standards. Therefore, BSMI’s certification model is: product
inspection + registration supervision.
BSMI application method
Type approval includes two types:
1. EMC type approval (replacing the original EMC application) will
be mandatory from November 1, 2002. Applicable products: 61
electronic and electrical products only require EMI, and 124
electronic and electrical products only require EMI + safety
reports (if the products have safety requirements). Applicable
standards: EMI only. The documents that need to be provided include
(electromagnetic compatibility type approval application, test
report, technical documents: photos, labels, electromagnetic
compatible parts, block diagrams and user manuals).
2. Type approval (EMC+Safety). From January 1, 2004, 178 types of
electronic and electrical products need to apply for this type of
approval. Applicable standards: EMC+Safety, the documents that need
to be provided include (product type approval application, company
or factory license, test report, technical documents for
electromagnetic compatibility: photos, labels, parts with
electromagnetic interference, block diagrams and user manuals and
safety technical documents). The certificate is valid for three
years and can be extended once.
BSMI certification registration
Enforcement date: Not yet announced. Applicable standards: EMI+
safety regulations. The documents that need to be provided include
(product type approval application, company or factory license,
test report, technical documents for electromagnetic compatibility:
photos, labels, parts with electromagnetic interference, block
diagrams and user manuals, and safety regulations documentation,
declaration of conformity). Certificate validity: three years, can
be extended once
BSMI Certification Statement of Conformity
Enforcement date: January 18, 2002. Applicable products: 19 types
of information technology equipment components. Applicable
standards: CNS13438 (ONLY EMC). The documents that need to be
provided are (declaration of conformity, test reports, technical
documents: photos, labels, parts with electromagnetic interference,
block diagrams and user manuals). No certificate. For electronic
and electrical products, the three application methods provided by
the Bureau of Standards have the following characteristics:
The Declaration of Conformity only applies to components of some
information technology equipment (please refer to the product
description on the Bureau of Standards and Inspection website
It is up to the product cost manufacturer to apply for
certification registration or type approval at its own discretion.
The difference between certification registration and type approval
is:
Inspection method: If the product has obtained type approval,
inspection of customers will be simplified. For products applying
for certification and registration, customers will not be
inspected, but random market testing will be adopted.
Applicable product range
If your product falls within the following range, you need to apply
for verification to expand the domestic market:
1. Compulsory commodity inspection mark (CI MARK): electrical
products (such as home appliances), electronic products (such as
information equipment and entertainment audio-visual equipment),
mechanical products (such as power tools and equipment), chemical
products Products (such as tires and toys).
2. Voluntary CNS MARK: Industrial products, building materials,
wires, home appliances, automobile and motorcycle parts, industrial
raw materials, or competitors' products that already have CNS MARK.
3. Voluntary Product Verification Mark (VPC MARK): important safety
components, digital set-top boxes, lamp holders, battery chargers,
restricted hazardous substances, lithium batteries, vehicle
electromagnetic compatibility, sports and fitness equipment, etc.
