【BSMI】Taiwan BSMI to Enforce Mandatory Inspection for LED Light Source Control Devices

/in , , /by

If your product portfolio includes lighting equipment, LED drivers, or power supplies targeting the Taiwanese market, please look closely at this upcoming regulatory change. The Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) under the Ministry of Economic Affairs in Taiwan has officially announced that LED light source control devices will be included in the list of mandatory commodity inspection items.

This regulatory measure is being introduced to ensure consumer rights and electrical safety across the market.

Official Implementation Timeline:

  • Enforcement Date: January 1, 2027
  • What this means: Starting from this date, all covered LED light source control devices must pass BSMI inspection, obtain the appropriate certification, and bear the Commodity Inspection Mark before they can be legally imported, manufactured, or sold in Taiwan.

💡 Word-of-Advice for Hardware Manufacturers: Although the mandate officially kicks in on January 1, 2027, the testing, factory auditing (if applicable), and bureaucratic review processes for BSMI can take several months. We strongly recommend initiating your product gap analysis and pre-testing phases now to prevent any supply chain disruptions when the gate closes.

/in , /by

Stationary Lithium Energy Storage Systems will be subject to mandatory inspection starting July 1, 2026. Imported and domestically manufactured products will be required to undergo inspection. The applicable conformity assessment procedures include either type approval followed by batch-by-batch inspection, or a dual-track approach consisting of batch inspection and registration of product certification.

For single cells or battery systems used in these products that comply with CNS 62619 or CNS 63056 and have obtained a Voluntary Product Certification (VPC) certificate issued by BSMI, such certificate may serve as proof of conformity for the single cells or battery systems.

For products with composite or multiple functions that fall within the scope of mandatory inspection, they must comply with the relevant inspection standards and the requirements of the registration of product certification scheme.
