Taiwan BSMI Updates Type Approval Guidelines

17-JUL-26

The Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) has enacted its updated Instruction Guidelines for Type Approval of Electrical and Electronic Products (under legal reference FL030251), effective immediately. This revision refines the administrative and processing workflows for Type Approval applications, establishing stricter parameters for technical documentation, conformity assessments, and subsequent product modifications.

The update explicitly mandates a more structured review of technical construction files. Manufacturers must ensure that critical component lists, circuit layouts, and EMC test configurations align exactly with the updated formatting criteria before submission to local certification bodies. These documentation requirements apply uniformly to both brand-new product certifications and any subsequent sub-model additions or variations.

Post-market surveillance and product modification protocols have also been tightened. Under the updated framework, any hardware or layout alterations that affect a device's primary safety, insulation, or EMC characteristics require formal notification, delta-testing, or a new model registration depending on the severity of the change. Compliance requires strict alignment with these updated review instructions during the initial filing to ensure seamless market entry and border clearance in Taiwan.

At Eleos Compliance, we manage the entire BSMI and NCC process on your behalf, from technical file reviews to coordinating with local laboratories in Taiwan.
