Water Dispensers; Other (HS 841869), - Electric instantaneous or storage water heaters and immersion heaters (HS 851610)

Proposal for amendment to the legal inspection regulation for water dispensers (6 page(s), in English; 4 page(s), in Chinese)

Water Dispensers 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. The BSMI will add test items and methods, stated in Sections 6.3 "water temperature," 6.8 "storage tank capacity," 6.10 "power consumption for preparation per 24 hours E24" and 13 "Mark: (e) water storage capacity and (j) power consumption for preparation per 24 hours E24" of the standard CNS 15929 (2016). The conformity assessment procedures remain the same, i.e. Registration of Products Certification (RPC) or Type-approved Batch Inspection (TABI).
