3. More about BSMI certification
There are three mandatory inspection schemes which require compliance with product inspection requirements:
- Type Approved Batch Inspection (TABI): for mechanical, chemical, electrical and electronic products (valid for three years);
- Registration of Product Certification (RPC): for electrical and electronic products (valid for three years);
- Declaration of Conformity (DoC): for components of IT equipment and electronic products (no expiry).
Difference between TABI and RPC:
(1) Inspection methods:
If the product has been type-approved, customer inspection will be simplified.
For RPC, market random sampling is adopted instead of customer inspection.
(2) Cost differences:
The application fee for PRC is higher than TABI, and an annual fee is charged, while no annual fee is charged for type approval.
