Public Notice under the Commodity Inspection Act (5 pages, in English; 3 pages, in Chinese)

Drinking water suppliers (hereinafter referred as "the commodities") have been subject to mandatory inspection under the Commodity Inspection Act by the Bureau of Standards Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) since 1 May 1990. To enhance consumer protection and promote efficiency of energy use, the BSMI proposes to adopt the latest version of inspection standards for the commodities.

In addition to the safety and energy efficiency requirements for the commodities, the BSMI proposes to require marking of presence conditions of hazardous substances to inform users the conditions of 6 chemical substances in such products. Such markings shall be made in accordance with Section 5 "Marking of Presence" of CNS 15663 on the body, packages, stickers or the instruction books of the commodities. For those who utilize website as a means to announce "the presence conditions of the restricted substances of the commodities," the website address shall be clearly stated on the body, packages, stickers or the instruction books of the commodities.

The conformity assessment procedures for products subject to this notified measure remain the same, i.e. Registration of Products Certification (RPC) or Type-approved Batch Inspection (TABI)
