On January 11, 2022 the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI), published amendments to the Conformity Mark Regarding QR Codes. All Type Approval applicants are required to use the Conformity Mark in accordance with these Regulations, except for those approved by the Bureau of Standards, Metrology, and Inspection (BSMI) to be exempt from this requirement.
Main changes:
- Regarding Declaration of Conformity (DoC), BSMI designated codes where the product is announced by the BSMI to include a QR code, an application for QR code shall be made to the BSMI before a certificate is issued or when applying a registration of declaration of conformity.
- For devices granted product registration certificates prior to the entry into force of the announcement of products to bear QR code, the application for QR code shall be made before the products are imported or transported out of the manufacturing premises.
- For products announced by the BSMI to include a QR code in the designated code that are too small or for other specific causes to accommodate the Mark, they may apply to affixing the QR code as specified in Article 9 of the amendment
