What the notification says

Latest notice (⁨G/TBT/N/TPKM/581/Add.1⁩, 11 March 2026)

The latest notice says the measure was adopted or published.

Legal Inspection Requirements for Infant Swings

The purpose of this notification is to provide the final texts of 'Legal Inspection Requirements for Infant Swings' and relevant dates of its implementation. The draft texts notified in 'G/TBT/N/TPKM/581' were adopted with a minor change, namely that the originally proposed implementation date of 1 July 2026 is extended to 1 July 2027.

BSMI’s market surveillance has shown that 100% of randomly purchased units failed the physical performance tests. In response to public concerns over the safety risks posed by infant swings, including the potential for tangling and entanglement that may endanger infants, the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) intends to include these products within the scope of mandatory inspection to ensure their safety and quality.
