Proposal for implementing mandatory commodity inspection of secondary lithium cells and batteries, secondary lithium mobile power bank and battery charger for computer, communication and consumer electronics By the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI), Ministry of Economic Affairs Background:
Along with the development and popularization of science and technology, electronic products
for computer, communication and consumer electronics are the necessary equipments in modern
life, The secondary lithium cells and batteries, secondary lithium mobile power bank and battery
chargers are ready to provide power for products of computer, communication and consumer
electronics. In order to enhance the consumers protection, the BSMI intends to mandatory
inspection requirements for secondary lithium cells and batteries, secondary lithium mobile power
bank and battery charger for computer, communication and consumer electronics. The conformity
assessment procedure for all such products will be under the Registration of Product Certification
Proposed date of implementation:
‧March 1, 2014
Table of secondary lithium cells and batteries, secondary lithium mobile power bank and battery charger for computer, communication and consumer electronics (HS/CCC codes) covered and their applicable inspection standards: C.C.C.Code(the Description of first 6 digits are Inspection Standards Inspection scheme the same as HS
Remarks 1.CNS 15364 (2010) Secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid
electrolytes - Safety requirements for portable sealed secondary cells, and for batteries
made from them, for use in portable applications.
Information technology equipment - Safety - Part 1: General
Audio, video and similar electronic apparatus - Safety
4.CNS 13438 (2006)Information technology equipment - Radio disturbance
characteristics - Limits and methods of measurement.
The conformity assessment procedures for the inspection schemes are as follows: Registration of Product Certification (RPC) Scheme(Module II+ III)
Under this procedure, domestic manufacturers or importers must have their products type-tested in
advance (Module II) before applying for registration of their products. Manufacturers or importers
will also be required to ensure by declaration that all products made at their manufacturing facilities
or imported are in conformity with the prototypes submitted for type test at Module II stage, and the
declaration procedure is called Module III (conformity-to-type declaration). The conformity-to-type
declaration shall be drawn up by the manufacturer or the authorized local representative, declaring
that the products mass-produced will comply with the prototype as described in the type-test report.
Products will be allowed to use the Commodity Inspection Mark with the letter “R” and the
identification number given by the BSMI, after they are certified and registered with the BSMI.
These products can then pass through customs directly without any further inspection if not be
sampled by RPC border check procedure. The application fee and annual fee for RPC are both
NT$5,000(about US$170) for each certification, and the RPC certifications are valid for three years.
If there are any serial products, the extra NT$3,000(about US$102) of application fee is needed for
every application in each certification.
Locations to apply for Type Testing:
‧The BSMI or BSMI-designated testing laboratories.
Locations to apply for Registration of Product Certification: Time required for Registration of Product Certification:
‧Fifteen working days. (This period does not include the time for corrective actions by the applicant due to deficiencies in the documents or samples; another seven working days may be required if additional tests are required) Related requirements:
1. Since 2014 March 1, the above-mentioned secondary lithium cells and batteries, secondary
lithium mobile power bank and battery charger for computer, communication and consumer
electronics will be implemented mandatory commodity inspection. The available inspection
procedure is the Registration of Product Certification (RPC) Scheme. When the BSMI
completes the review procedure and approves the application, a certification will be issued and
valid for 3 years starting from the issue date.
2. The inspection standards shall be the latest version of standards as of the date this public notice
to be adopted. When the applicable standard is revised or amended, the date of applying the
revised or amended standard shall be decided and announced by the BSMI.
the products covered in this notice, the technical documents required for type testing shall
the products covered in this notice have combined functions or multi-functions themselves,
they shall comply with other relevant standards. If the products are equipped with some
accessories which are implemented mandatory inspection, those accessories shall comply with
