Jim, You don't need a number if you follow the instruction Bob provided (to have NVLAP include the CNS 13438 scope). BSMI does conduct laboratory assessment for labs located outside of Taiwan. There is no benefit to go through this route if your lab is NVLAP/A2LA accredited. For Taiwan's local labs, lab accreditation is through TAF as Alain mentioned. I believe BSMI has NOT recognized ILAC. There are limited products for DoC. Your products may need certification. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance. Grace

My product is ITE equipment (high value, low volume) and does not include telecom. My method of certification is usually the Declaration of Conformity. I understand that I can request my scope of accreditation be increased by NVLAP to include Taiwan's CNS 13438. I am struggling to understand the process to follow in dealing with Taiwan. Do I need to become a BSMI (Taiwan) recognized laboratory and get a lab number? If so, how do I proceed? I appreciate any enlightenment. Jim James L.
