Title of document
Proposal for Amendment to Legal Inspection Requirements of Electric Storage Tank Water Heaters and Air Conditioners with Hermetic Type Compressor (7 page(s), in English; 4 page(s), in Chinese)

Description
To ensure the safety of products in use on the markets, the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) proposes to adopt the latest version of standards for the inspection of safety and electromagnetic compatibility features of electric storage tank water heaters and air conditioners with hermetic type compressor. The followings are excluded from the scope: - water heaters and air conditioners built in with a USB connection port with the main input voltage of 5V direct current (DC) but not attached cigar lighter power supply, - water heaters using only three-phase voltage supply, and - water heaters and air conditioners powered only by dry cell batteries. The conformity assessment procedures remain the same, i.e. Registration of Products Certification (PRC) or Type-approved Batch Inspection (TABI).
