Announcement summary
📅 Release date of the briefing: August 20, 114, Republic of China (August 20, 2025)
📌 Effective date: July 1, 116, Republic of China (July 1, 2027)
📝 Explain the key points: The Bureau of Standards and Inspection of the Ministry of Economic Affairs announced that major amendments have been made to the inspection regulations for "four commodities such as fixed lamps and lanterns for general indoor lighting". The new system will be officially implemented from July 1, 116 (July 1, 2027). This revision not only expands the scope of inspection, but also updates the inspection standards simultaneously, covering electromagnetic compatibility, battery safety, photobiological safety and optical performance. This revision has a far-reaching impact on manufacturers and importers of lighting products, and it is necessary to respond early to avoid empty windows in the market.

Revised background
- LED light sources have gradually replaced traditional lamps and lanterns, and product types are becoming more and more diverse.
- International standards and domestic CNS standards have been revised one after another in recent years, and inspection specifications need to be upgraded simultaneously.
- The new system aims to ensure the safety, performance and user health of lighting products.
Revision focus
1. Newly included in the scope of inspection
- Mobile inductive lamps (people come to light, people go dark)
- Camping lamps
- With a secondary battery and USB port, or a secondary battery with a power cigarette lighter product
Which lamps and lanterns are not in the scope of inspection? The following conditions can be excluded from this inspection：
- Use only USB 5V power supply(No transformer, no built-in battery)
- Use only Car cigarette lighter power supply
- use Industrial-grade three-phase power supply
- Use only disposable dry batteries (No. 3 and No. 4 batteries)
- Products that have been identified as toys and passed toy inspection
2. Battery safety
- Those with secondary lithium batteries：
- Single battery must comply with CNS 15364
- The battery pack must comply with CNS 62133-2 (vibration and mechanical shock)
Or certificates and test reports that meet the requirements of the newer international standard IEC 62133-2
3. Light source and performance requirements
- Non-replaceable light source: must comply with IEC 61000-3-2 (2024 edition)
- Reading and writing desk lamp: CNS 16048 must be tested (illuminance and uniformity, shading, color rendering, flicker, power factor, input power)
- Photobiological hazards: Blue light risk assessment must be carried out in accordance with CNS 14335 and CNS 62471-7
4. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMI)
The new version of CNS 14115 (105th edition) is adopted, and the 30-300 MHz radiation band test is added.
5. Inspection method
- Batch-by-batch inspection of type approval
- Verification and registration (type test + declaration of conformity with type + designation of relevant information and technical documents)
- The certificate is valid for 3 years, and those who have been issued before 2027/07/01 can use it until the expiration date.
Comparison table of differences between old and new specifications：
| project | Old version regulations | New version of regulations |
|---|---|---|
| Inspection standard | CNS 14335 (88th edition), CNS 14115 (93rd edition) | CNS 14335 (109th edition) standard, CNS 14115 (105th Edition) |
| EMI test | Low frequency band only | Added 30-300 MHz radiation band |
| battery | No clear requirements | CNS 15364, CNS 62133-2, or certificates and test reports that meet the requirements of the newer international standard IEC 62133-2 |
| Non-replaceable light source | No requirement | Mandatory compliance with IEC 61000-3-2 |
| Reading and writing table lamp | Basic safety requirements | Additional test CNS 16048 Partial chapter test items |
| Photobiohazard | No requirement | Blue light risk must be assessed in accordance with CNS 62471-7 |
| ROHS mark | CNS 15663 (102nd Edition) | Continue to apply, the disclosure method is clearer |
Jinghong recommends
This revision is a comprehensive upgrade of the inspection specifications of indoor lighting products, covering electromagnetic safety, optical performance, battery reliability and environmental protection labeling. Although it increases the cost of testing and design, it can also improve product quality and market trust. For manufacturers, early preparation is the key to mastering their competitive advantage.
Send test in advance： It is recommended to complete the pre-inspection in the first half of 2027 to avoid delays in the listing of the new system after it hits the road.
Design optimization： Blue light risk, flicker control and EMI suppression should be considered during the design phase.
One-stop inspection： Jinghong inspection can provide full-process testing services for optical performance, electromagnetic compatibility, battery safety, photobiological hazards, and RoHS labeling.
Jinghong Inspection will continue to track the latest regulatory developments and provide complete product testing and compliance advice services to help the industry successfully respond to the requirements of the new version of the recognized benchmark.
