Subject: China Safety Licensing, October 1996
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, indeed China has imposed mandatory product safety licensing
effective Oct. 1, 1996 on additional categories. I believe the first
listing was effective last year. There are 38 products listed in the
"Second Catalogue of import commodities..." including the following
listing for Item 16. "Switching Power Supply: Applies to switching
power supply units built in computer or not, including UPS, direct
plug-in adaptor (sic)" quoted from the translated catalogue.
TV Rheinland's Newtown, Connecticut office ( phone 203-426-0888 ) can
help you. I believe Underwriters Laboratories also has information,
but I don't know which office.

The cover story of the September 1996 AEA INTERNATIONAL IMPACT
Newsletter is titled "Mandatory Safety Licensing Requirements in China as
early as October 1,1996" It goes on further to state that the SACI (State
Administration of Import and Export Commodity Inspection of China) will
implement mandatory third party safety licensing requirements with an
effectivity date of October 1,1996 for VCRs, personal computers, visual
display units, printers, audio equipment and switching power supplies. Also,
18 additional products will be added with an effectivity date of October 1,1997.
Has anyone had experience with this? My concern is that "switching
power supplies" are covered by this requirement.
Does anyone know if there are other components covered by this
requirement? Does anyone have a complete list of all the covered equipments
/ components? (I'm presently trying to obtain this from SACI).
Thanks,
