Proposal for the Legal Inspection Requirements for UV Disinfection (Sterilization) Appliances; (6 page(s), in English), (4 page(s), in Chinese)

Nowadays, the UV disinfection appliance is popular with consumers for fighting with the pandemic. The radiation emitted from UV disinfection appliance may pose hazards to consumers and the radiation can not be easily detected by consumers. Improper use of UV disinfection appliance may impair vision and cause damage to the skin of consumers. In order to ensure consumer safety, the BSMI plans to regulate UV disinfection appliances. Two alternative conformity assessment procedures are made available for the choice of applicants, i.e. Registration of Product Certification (RPC) or Type-Approved Batch Inspection (TABI).
