A Trial of Parallel Testing of Mobile Phone and Its Components by BIS,

▍BSMI Introduction Introduction of BSMI certification

BSMI is short for Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection, established in 1930 and called National Metrology Bureau at that time. It is the supreme inspection organization in Republic of China in charge of the work on national standards, metrology and product inspection etc. The inspection standards of electrical appliances in Taiwan are enacted by BSMI. Products are authorized to use BSMI marking on the conditions that they are in compliance with safety requirements, EMC testing and other related tests.

Electrical appliances and electronic products are tested according to the following three schemes: type-approved (T), registration of product certification(R) and declaration of conformity (D).

▍What is the standard of BSMI?

On 20 November 2013, it is announced by BSMI that from 1^st, May 2014, 3C secondary lithium cell/battery, secondary lithium power bank and 3C battery charger are not permitted to access to Taiwan market until they are inspected and qualified according to the relevant standards (as shown in table below).

▍Why MCM?

● In 2014, rechargeable lithium battery became mandatory in Taiwan, and MCM began to provide the latest information about BSMI certification and the testing service for global clients, especially those from mainland China.

● High Rate of Pass: MCM has already help clients to obtained more than 1,000 BSMI certificates till now in one go.

● Bundled services: MCM helps clients successfully enter multiple markets in worldwide through one-stop bundled service of simple procedure.

As early as July 26, 2022, the Indian Association of Industries put forward a proposal for parallel testing of mobile phones, wireless headphones and headsets as a way to shorten the time to market.In reference to Registration/Guidelines RG: 01 dated 15 December 2022 regarding ‘Guidelines for Grant of Licence (GoL) as per the Conformity Assessment Scheme-II of Schedule-II of BIS (Conformity
Assessment) Regulation, 2018’, BIS issued new guidelines for parallel testing of electronic products covered under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) on December 16. As a more active consumer product, mobile phone will run parallel testing first in the first half of 2023. On December 19, BIS updated the guidelines to correct the date.These guidelines will enable parallel testing of electronic products covered under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS). These guidelines are voluntary in nature and the manufacturers will still have options for submitting application sequentially to BIS for registration as per the existing procedure, or testing all components in the final products in parallel according to the new guidelines.Products such as batteries can be tested without having to wait for a BIS certificate for a previously tested component. Under parallel testing, the lab will test the first component & issue test report. This test report no. along-with name of lab will be mentioned in the test report of the second component. This procedure will be followed for subsequent components & final product also. The battery & final product testing laboratory shall evaluate the previously tested components before generating the final test report.
