Introduction to BSMI certification in Taiwan


BSMI is the abbreviation of "bureau of standards, metrology and inspection" of Taiwan's Ministry of economic affairs. According to the announcement of Taiwan's Ministry of economic affairs, from July 1, 2005, products entering Taiwan shall be subject to electromagnetic compatibility and safety regulations. Taiwan Bureau of standards and inspection (BSMI) Under the leadership of the Economic Department of the government, product inspection specifications are formulated for electronic and electrical products entering the Taiwan market, and the products must comply with safety, EMC test and relevant tests before they can be authorized to use the BSMI mark. BSMI certification is a compulsory product certification, which requires EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) and safety (safety regulations). BSMI certification is usually valid for 3 years. However, BSMI currently has no factory inspection, but it must comply with the regulations of the Bureau of standards. Therefore, the certification mode of BSMI is: product inspection + registration supervision.

BSMI certification application method


There are currently three application methods:


1、 There are two types of type approval:


1 type approval (emc+safety), 178 kinds of electronic and electrical products need to apply for such approval from january1,2004. Applicable standard: EMC + safety, and the documents to be provided include (application for product type approval, company or factory license, test report, technical documents for electromagnetic compatibility: photos, labels, parts with electromagnetic interference, block diagram, user manual and technical documents of safety regulations). Validity period of the certificate: three years, which can be extended once.


2 EMC type approval (replacing the original EMC application) shall be enforced from november1,2002. Applicable products: 61 electronic and electrical products only have EMI requirements, and 124 electronic and electrical products only need EMI + safety regulation report (if the product has safety regulation requirements). Applicable standards: only EMI. The documents to be provided include (electromagnetic compatibility type approval application, test report, technical documents: photos, labels, parts with electromagnetic compatibility, block diagram and operation manual).


2、 Certification registration


Enforcement date: not yet published. Applicable standard: EMI + safety regulations. The documents to be provided include (application for product type approval, company or factory license, test report, technical documents for electromagnetic compatibility: photos, labels, parts with electromagnetic interference, block diagram and operation manual, technical documents of safety regulations and declaration of conformity).

Validity period of the certificate: three years, which can be extended once


3、 Declaration of conformity


Enforcement date: 18 January 2002. Applicable products: 19 kinds of IT equipment components. Applicable standards: cns13438 (only EMC). The documents to be provided include (Declaration of conformity, test report, technical documents: photos, labels, parts with electromagnetic interference, block diagram and operation manual). No certificate.


For electronic and electrical products, the characteristics of the three application methods provided by the Bureau of standards are as follows:


1. The declaration of conformity applies only to parts of some information technology equipment (please refer to the product description on the website of the Bureau of standards and inspection).


2. Application for approval registration or type approval shall be made at the discretion of the product manufacturer.


3. The difference between approval registration and type approval lies in:


Inspection method: if the product has obtained type approval, the customer inspection will be simplified. For products applying for certification and registration, customers are not checked, and random sampling test is adopted in the market.


Fee difference: the application fee for certification and registration is higher than that for formal recognition. Moreover, an annual fee shall be charged, and no annual fee shall be charged for type approval.
