Hot cathode fluorescent lamps; -- Fluorescent, hot cathode (HS 853931)

Proposal for amendment to legal inspection requirements for hot cathode fluorescent lamps (4 page(s), in English; 3 page(s), in Chinese)

The Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection is proposing to adopt the most recent version of standard, CNS 691 "Fluorescent lamps (for general lighting service)," published on 15 August 2019, as the inspection standard for hot cathode fluorescent lamps. To phase out mercury-added products in line with the goal of Minamata Convention on Mercury, this revised version requires the content of mercury at not more than 4mg. The requirements for restriction of hazardous substances and the applicable conformity assessment procedures remain unchanged.
