Taiwan RoHS (CNS 15663)

Definition

Taiwan RoHS is implemented through the Regulations for Restricted Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment, aligned with CNS 15663 (Chinese National Standard). Administered by the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) and Ministry of Economic Affairs, it restricts the same six hazardous substances as EU RoHS 1 (Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr⁶⁺, PBBs, PBDEs) at equivalent concentration limits, in a broad range of EEE product categories. Taiwan RoHS requires a conformity mark on products and an accessible content declaration table on the product or its packaging, similar to China’s labeling approach.

Practical Explanation (Compliance Context)

Products sold in Taiwan must meet CNS 15663 substance restrictions and display the Taiwan RoHS conformity mark and content declaration table. Manufacturers must conduct substance assessment using BSMI-recognised test laboratories. EU RoHS compliance data provides a strong foundation for Taiwan RoHS compliance, but the labeling, mark application, and declaration table format must follow Taiwan-specific requirements. BSMI-recognised third-party testing is typically required for formal product certification.
