BSMI Certification
CE Certification demonstrates that a product complies with European Union safety, health, and environmental standards. It ensures free movement within the EU market, boosting consumer trust and enabling manufacturers’ legal market access.
About CE Certification
BSMI Certification, issued by the Bureau of Standards, Metrology, and Inspection in Taiwan, is a mandatory certification for products imported or manufactured in the country. It ensures compliance with Taiwan’s safety, quality, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards, safeguarding consumer health and environmental safety.
The certification applies to a wide range of products, including electronics, IT equipment, household appliances, and other regulated goods. To obtain BSMI Certification, manufacturers must undergo product testing, technical evaluation, and conformity assessment. Depending on the product type, certification may involve Registration of Product Certification (RPC) or Type Approval.
For businesses, BSMI Certification is essential for legal market entry in Taiwan. It not only ensures adherence to local regulatory requirements but also enhances product reliability, reduces trade barriers, and builds consumer confidence. Non-compliance can result in product recalls, fines, or prohibition of sales in Taiwan’s market.
