It amends two sets of rules: one for power supply equipment such as battery chargers, and one for information technology products such as uninterruptible power supplies<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, more battery chargers will need a BSMI certificate before they can be sold in Taiwan from 1 July 2027. For backup power units and some adapters, test reports must follow newer national standards from the same date.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What did BSMI announce on Sept. 8, 2026?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BSMI is the agency under Taiwan&#8217;s Ministry of Economic Affairs that checks whether products meet safety rules before sale. Its notice is numbered 11530016180 and was dated Sept. 8, 2026<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The ministry posted it on its own website on Sept. 10, 2026<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-2\" id=\"hsn-cite-2\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The notice changes two lists of goods that must pass mandatory inspection. The first list covers <strong>power supply equipment<\/strong>, led by battery chargers<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The second covers <strong>information technology products<\/strong>, led by uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), the backup units that keep computers running during a power cut<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bureau&#8217;s branch offices also published the notice. The Tainan branch posted it on Sept. 10, 2026, with the full text attached<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-3\" id=\"hsn-cite-3\">3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is Taiwan changing the charger and UPS rules?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The notice gives two reasons. First, the test standards for static converters and UPS units had been updated and brought into line with Taiwan&#8217;s national standards<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. BSMI says it wants the new versions used so the rules match international practice and keep the products safe<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second, BSMI wants to widen the range of battery chargers it checks for safety. The notice brings more charger types into mandatory inspection, including <strong>chargers powered by direct current (DC)<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The legal basis is the Commodity Inspection Act, Taiwan&#8217;s main law on product checks<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The notice cites Articles 3, 5, 10, 28, 35 and 39 of that law<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which power supply products are covered?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The power supply list has four items<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Battery chargers<\/strong>, except those that are medical devices or telecom terminal equipment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wireless chargers<\/strong>, with the same exclusions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Car cigarette-lighter power supplies<\/strong>, the plugs that draw power from a car&#8217;s lighter socket.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Other static converters<\/strong>, limited to adapters that turn alternating current (AC) into DC, but not adjustable DC power supplies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each item must meet its own list of Chinese National Standards (CNS), Taiwan&#8217;s national standards. Every item must also meet Section 5 of CNS 15663, on marking restricted substances<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Battery chargers have two test routes. One route uses CNS 15936 and CNS 15598-1. The other uses CNS 13783-1, CNS 60335-1 and CNS 60335-2-29, standards based on household appliance safety<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chargers for some vehicles stay out. The notice excludes chargers for <strong>electric cars, electric motorcycles, electric bicycles and power-assisted bicycles<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which IT products and UPS units are covered?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IT list has three items<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Uninterruptible power supplies<\/strong> with an output current of no more than 400A, except medical or telecom units. They must meet CNS 14757-2 and CNS 62040-1.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Static converters for computers and telecom equipment<\/strong>, limited to AC-to-DC adapters. They must meet CNS 15936 and CNS 15598-1.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Other switch-mode power supplies<\/strong>, also limited to AC-to-DC adapters. They must meet CNS 15936 plus either CNS 15598-1 or the pair CNS 61558-1 and CNS 61558-2-16.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"hsn-fig hsn-fig--solid hsn-fig--v2\" data-at=\"which-it-products-and-ups-units-are-covered\">\n  <div class=\"hsn-fig__table\">\n    <h4>Standards for the IT product list<\/h4>\n    <div class=\"pcrstb-wrap\"><table>\n      <thead>\n        <tr><th>Product<\/th><th>Standards required<\/th><\/tr>\n      <\/thead>\n      <tbody>\n        <tr><th>UPS units up to 400A<\/th><td>CNS 14757-2 and CNS 62040-1<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>Adapters for computers and telecom<\/th><td>CNS 15936 and CNS 15598-1<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>Other switch-mode supplies<\/th><td>CNS 15936 plus CNS 15598-1, or CNS 61558-1 and 61558-2-16<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>All listed products<\/th><td>CNS 15663 Section 5 substance marking<\/td><\/tr>\n      <\/tbody>\n    <\/table><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adapters made only for high-end audio systems are excluded from the second and third items<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Medical devices and telecom terminal equipment are excluded as well<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BSMI&#8217;s draft of this IT list, issued for comment before adoption, dated the standards<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\" id=\"hsn-cite-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. It lists CNS 14757-2 (2019), CNS 62040-1 (2022), CNS 61558-1 (2026) and CNS 61558-2-16 (2025)<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. The draft said static converters were only regrouped, with no real change to their rules<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which customs codes do the new rules list?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The notice gives reference codes from Taiwan&#8217;s tariff list, the C.C.C. codes<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Their first six digits are the same as the international Harmonized System (HS) codes<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. All of them start with 8504.40<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the power supply list, the codes are<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Battery chargers: 8504.40.20.00.3C, 8504.40.91.00.7C, 8504.40.94.00.4B and 8504.40.99.90.0C.<\/li>\n<li>Wireless chargers: 8504.40.99.29.6.<\/li>\n<li>Car lighter power supplies: 8504.40.99.90.0G.<\/li>\n<li>Other static converters: 8504.40.99.90.0A.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the IT list, UPS units use 8504.40.92.00.6 and 8504.40.93.00.5<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Static converters for computers use 8504.40.20.00.3A, and other switch-mode supplies use 8504.40.91.00.7A<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The codes are for reference only. If customs or the International Trade Administration decides a product falls under another code, it must still pass inspection <strong>before it goes on sale<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do the BSMI approval routes work?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BSMI uses two approval routes for these goods. The first is <strong>Registration of Product Certification (RPC)<\/strong>. A BSMI-designated laboratory tests a sample, and the applicant declares that every unit made matches it<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. Once registered, goods can clear customs without further checks unless picked for a border spot-check<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"hsn-fig hsn-fig--solid hsn-fig--v2\" data-at=\"how-do-the-bsmi-approval-routes-work\">\n    <div class=\"hsn-fig__chart\">\n    <h4>BSMI review time, working days<\/h4>\n    <div class=\"hsn-fig__bar\" data-series=\"1\">\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__lab\">With sample testing<\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__bartrack\"><span class=\"hsn-fig__barfill\" data-v=\"100\"><\/span><\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__num\">14 + 7 days<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"hsn-fig__bar\" data-series=\"2\">\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__lab\">Standard review<\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__bartrack\"><span class=\"hsn-fig__barfill\" data-v=\"65\"><\/span><\/span>\n      <span class=\"hsn-fig__num\">14 days<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second is <strong>Type-Approved Batch Inspection (TABI)<\/strong>. The applicant first gets a type approval certificate<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. It must then apply for inspection of each batch before the goods leave the factory or arrive at the port<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most items on both lists use RPC only<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Wireless chargers and UPS units can use either RPC or TABI<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BSMI reviews an application within <strong>14 working days<\/strong>. If it takes samples for testing, it adds 7 working days after the samples arrive<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Time spent waiting for missing papers does not count<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bureau&#8217;s draft gave the fees. An RPC application costs NT$5,000 per product type, with the same amount charged each year<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. A type approval costs NT$3,500, and both certificates last three years<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. The adopted notice says fees follow the Regulations Governing Fees for Commodity Inspection<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What changes at the border for chargers and UPS units?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customs treatment differs by product. Wireless chargers and UPS units carry import code <strong>C02<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. For these goods, the BSMI check comes before customs clearance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a UPS shipment under TABI, the importer must hold a type approval and then apply for inspection before import<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Under RPC, the importer must register the product before import or before it leaves the factory<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Importers apply at the BSMI office that covers the port where the goods arrive<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The newly covered battery chargers have no import code<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Importers do not need any BSMI document to clear customs<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. They must still finish the RPC procedure before the chargers enter the market<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The same applies to other static converters and other switch-mode supplies<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In practice, the change for newly covered chargers lands at the point of sale. Customs will not stop them, but they cannot be sold legally without a certificate after the start date.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When do the new rules start?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The notice took effect on <strong>Sept. 8, 2026<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Several key dates follow from it.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"hsn-fig hsn-fig--solid hsn-fig--v2\" data-at=\"when-do-the-new-rules-start\">\n  <div class=\"hsn-fig__table\">\n    <h4>Key dates in the BSMI notice<\/h4>\n    <div class=\"pcrstb-wrap\"><table>\n      <thead>\n        <tr><th>Date<\/th><th>What happens<\/th><\/tr>\n      <\/thead>\n      <tbody>\n        <tr><th>Sept. 8, 2026<\/th><td>Notice takes effect; new standards usable<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>30 June 2027<\/th><td>Last day to certify under old standards<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><th>1 July 2027<\/th><td>Newly covered chargers inspected; old UPS standards end<\/td><\/tr>\n      <\/tbody>\n    <\/table><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For newly covered battery chargers, inspection of imported and locally made goods starts on <strong>1 July 2027<\/strong><sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. BSMI already accepts RPC applications<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. A certificate lasts three years from issue. If issued on or before 30 June 2027, it runs from 1 July 2027<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For other static converters on the power supply list, the new standard applies from the notice date. The old standard stops applying on 1 July 2027<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. For UPS units, the old standards also stop on 1 July 2027<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The switch works the same way for UPS units, other switch-mode supplies and other static converters<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Existing certificates under the old standards stay valid until they expire.<\/li>\n<li>Holders can add related models under the old standards while the main model is unchanged.<\/li>\n<li>Until 30 June 2027, renewals and new certificates may still use the old standards.<\/li>\n<li>From 1 July 2027, renewals and new applications need test reports to the new standards.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each new certificate is valid for three years from the date it is issued<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What about old test reports and hazardous-substance labels?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Makers do not always need a full new test. Some UPS units already have reports under the older CNS 14757-2, CNS 14843-1 and CNS 14843-2<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. For these, the original laboratory can test only the differences and reissue the report<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The same applies to adapters with reports under the 2009 international version of standard 61558-1<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All listed goods must show which of six restricted substances they contain. These are lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE)<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-4\">4<\/a><\/sup>. The information must appear on the product, packaging, label or manual, or at a web address printed there<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The BSMI inspection mark is printed by the applicant. Its number combines a letter, a <strong>five-digit applicant code<\/strong> and the substance status, such as &quot;RoHS&quot;<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. &quot;RoHS&quot; here means no restricted substance exceeds its limit, except for exempt items<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. The mark must be permanent and easy to read, in a clear place on the product<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is affected by the BSMI changes?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Foreign makers of chargers, adapters and UPS units are the first group. They need test reports from a BSMI-designated laboratory for each product type<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Those making DC-powered or non-3C chargers will need certificates for the first time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Importers in Taiwan are the second group. For UPS units, they must clear inspection before the goods can pass customs<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. For chargers and adapters, they must hold a certificate before sale<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Multi-function products are also caught. If a product falls in scope, it must meet the relevant standards<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>. Any accessory that is itself on the list must also meet its standards<sup class=\"hsn-cite\"><a href=\"#hsn-ref-1\">1<\/a><\/sup>.
