Latest notice (G/TBT/N/TPKM/577/Add.1, 7 May 2026)
The latest notice says the measure was adopted or published.
Amendments to the Legal Inspection Requirements for Fixed Luminaires for General Indoor Lighting and 3 Other Luminaires
The purpose of this notification is to provide the final texts of 'Amendments to the Legal Inspection Requirements for Fixed Luminaires for General Indoor Lighting and 3 Other Luminaires' and relevant dates of its implementation. The draft texts notified in 'G/TBT/N/TPKM/577' were adopted with minor changes.
With the development of the lighting industry, the design and variety of luminaires have become increasingly diverse, and international safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards have been updated successively. To protect consumer rights and ensure product safety, the BSMI proposes to update the inspection requirements for luminaires. Additional performance requirements for desk luminaires intended for study tasks will be introduced. Furthermore, motion-sensor luminaires, camping luminaires, and rechargeable luminaires are proposed to be included within the scope of mandatory inspection. The conformity assessment procedures will remain unchanged.
