1 Amendment to Legal Inspection Requirements of Ventilators/Exhaust Hoods By the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI), Ministry of Economic Affairs Introduction: In response to the concerns raised by consumers for the performance of kitchen ventilators to reduce cooking oil fume exposure resulted from our traditional cooking style, which is also significantly associated with lung cancer, the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) revised the inspection standards for ventilators by adding the requirements for wind quantity as stated in Section 3.7 of CNS 3805, which specifies a minimum performance at 10 m 3 /min for single blade and 11.6 m 3 /min for double blades. Labelling of the wind quantity is not required. However, where wind quantity is labelled on the body, packages, stickers or the user manual of the commodity, the test result shall not be lower than 95 percent of the labelled value. Date of implementation: 1 January 2019 Scope of covered products: Description of Goods Ventilators/Exhaust hoods (inspection scope: rated voltage not exceeding single-phase 250V AC, including those with/charged with a AC to DC adapter) Inspection Standards (proposed revisions underlined) CNS (2014) CNS (2015) CNS 3805 (1989), Section 3.7 Wind Quantity CNS (2013) CNS (2013), Section 5 Marking of Presence C.C.C. Code (the first 6 digits are the same as HS Code)(Reference) Conformity Assessment Procedures RPC Scheme (Modules II+III) or TABI Scheme Description of the two kinds of conformity assessment procedures 1. Registration of Product Certification (RPC) Scheme: Modules II + III Under the II+III combination of modules used in this scheme, domestic manufacturers or importers must have their products type-tested in advance (Module II) by the BSMI or BSMI-recognized testing laboratories before applying for registration of their products. Manufacturers or importers will also be required to ensure by declaration (Module III, conformity-to-type declaration) that all products made at their manufacturing facilities or imported are in conformity with the prototypes submitted for type-test at Module II stage. The conformity-to-type declaration shall be drawn up by the manufacturer or the authorized local representative, declaring that the mass-produced products comply with the prototype as in the type-test report. After being certified and registered by the BSMI, products will be allowed to use the Commodity Inspection Mark with the letter R and the identification number given by the BSMI. Additionally, these products can clear customs directly without any further inspection if not being sampled by RPC border check procedures. The application fee and annual fee for RPC are both NT$5,000 (about US$170) for each certification, and the RPC certification is valid for 3 years. If there are any serial products, an extra NT$3,000 (about US$102) of application fee will be charged for every application in each certification. The fees for type testing vary by products and depend on the fee policies of the testing laboratories. 2. Type-approved Batch Inspection (TABI) Scheme Under this procedure, manufacturers or importers shall have their products type-tested by the BSMI or the designated testing laboratories recognized by the BSMI, and file an application for Type Approval to the BSMI or its branches. After manufacturers or importers obtain a type approval certificate, they are required to file an application for batch inspection to the BSMI each time before their products are released from the production premises 1

2 or arrive at the port of entry. The BSMI will then review the application and the related documents while additional samples may be required for further testing if it is deemed necessary. After the products have passed the inspection, they will be allowed to use the Commodity Inspection Mark with the letter T and the identification number given by the BSMI. The application fee for a Type Approval is NT$3,500, and a Type Approval certificate is valid for 3 years. The fees for type testing vary by products and depend on the fee policies of the testing laboratories. *Further information on the two schemes can also be found on the BSMI web site: Locations to apply for Registration of Product Certification: The BSMI or its branches. Time required for Registration of Product Certification: 14 work days. (This period does not include the time for corrective actions by the applicant due to deficiencies in the documents or samples. Extra 7 work days may be required if additional tests are required.) Related requirements: 1. The other requirements, CNS (2014), (2015) and (2013), were promulgated on 24 February A transitional period was given until 31 December 2018 to comply with the requirements. 2. For the requirement of Section 5 Marking of presence of CNS 15663, the certificate holders of the commodities shall clearly mark the presence condition of the restricted substances on the body, packages, stickers, or the instruction books of the commodities. Those who utilize website as a means to announce the presence condition of the restricted substances of the commodities shall clearly mark the website address on the body, packages, stickers, or the instruction books of the commodities, instead. 3. Processing of applications: (1) Replacement: Certificate holders shall prepare the type-test report based on the updated inspection standards, technical documents, and Declaration of Conformity to Wind Quantity for Ventilators/Exhaust Hoods to apply to the BSMI or its branches for replacement of the certificate(s) before 31 December (2) New application or Extension: From the date of announcement, applicants shall apply to the BSMI or its branches by providing the following documents: - type-test report, - technical documents, - Declaration of Conformity of Wind Quantity for Ventilators/Exhaust Hoods, - documents indicating the location of the marking of presence, samples of the Marking of Presence (see Table 1 and Table 2), and - Declaration of the Presence Condition of the Restricted Substances Marking. (3) A commodity, which is designed for small suites or integrated in a system cabinet, and the width of which is less than 65 cm, is waived from the requirement of CNS 3805 (1989) Section 3.7 Wind Quantity. The Declaration of Conformity to Wind Quantity for Ventilators/Exhaust Hoods is not required. 4. The Commodity Inspection Mark: (1) The Commodity Inspection Mark shall be printed by the certificate holders. The identification number of the Commodity Inspection Mark consists of Letter (R or T), Designated Code (5 digits) and the presence conditions of the restricted substance (e.g., RoHS or RoHS (XX,XX)). 2

3 (2) The identification number shall be placed below or to the right of the graphic symbol and the presence conditions of the restricted substance shall be indicated in the second row. (3) The size of the Mark can be applied proportionally on a prominent location of the commodities. The Mark shall use materials that are not easily altered, and the content shall be in a clearly identifiable and indelible form affixed permanently to the commodity. (4) For RPC scheme, the examples of the Commodity Inspection Mark are listed below: (5) For TABI scheme, the examples of the Commodity Inspection Mark are listed below: (6) RoHS indicates the content of restricted substance(s), other than exemptions stated in CNS 15663, does not exceed the reference percentage value of presence condition. RoHS (XX,XX) indicates the content of restricted substance(s) (element XX, element XX, ), other than exemptions stated in CNS 15663, exceeds the reference percentage value of presence condition. The restricted substances: indicates Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr +6, PBB, and PBDE. Example: RoHS (Pb): indicates that the Pb percentage content in certain parts of the commodity exceeds the reference percentage value of presence condition. RoHS (Cd, Cr +6, PBB): indicates that the Cd, Cr +6, and PBB percentage content in certain parts of the commodity exceed the reference percentage value of presence condition respectively. 5. The C.C.C. Codes listed in the form are used for reference only. The commodities shall still comply with the requirements before entering into the market, even though their C.C.C. Codes are identified differently by the Customs Administration, Ministry of Finance or Bureau of Foreign Trade, Ministry of Economic Affairs. 6. This proposed announcement of updated inspection standards will supersede the previous ones. 7. Commodities with combined types or multifunction-products shall comply with the respective inspection standards and the conformity assessment procedures of RPC scheme. 3
