▍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 1st, 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).

As Document No.4815 at the Fourth Session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference shows, a member of the Committee has put forward with a proposal about igorously developing sodium-ion battery. It is commonly considered by battery experts that sodium-ion battery will become an important supplement of lithium-ion especially with promising future in the field of stationary storage energy.
MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China) replied that they will organize relevant standard study institutes to initiate formulating standard of sodium-ion battery in proper future, and provide support in the process of standard formulation project initiation and approval. At the same time, in accordance with national policies and industry trends, they will combine relevant standards to study relevant regulations and policies of the sodium-ion battery industry and guide the healthy and orderly development of the industry.
MIIT stated that they will strengthen the planning in the “14th Five-Year Plan” and other related policy documents. In regards to the promotion of cutting-edge technologyresearch, improvement of supporting policies, and expansion of market applications, they will do top-level design, improve industrial policies, coordinate and guide the high-quality development of sodium ion battery industry.
