Taiwan - Proposal for Amendments to the Inspection Requirements for Certain Eye Protectors

​The Taiwan Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI)'s proposal involves adoption of revised inspection standards for eye protectors, expanding the current inspection scopes to cover face shields. The conformity assessment procedure will be Registration of Product Certification (RPC) Scheme (Modules II+IV, II+V, or II+VII) or Batch-by-Batch Inspection Scheme.

Eye protectors are subject to mandatory inspection under the Commodity Inspection Act. The current inspection standards CNS 7174:1998, CNS 7175:2005, CNS 7176:2002 and CNS 7177:2002 will be replaced by CNS 7175:2020 and 7177:2015. The BSMI intends to adopt CNS 7175:2020 and CNS 7177:2015 standards as the inspection standards.
