BSMI Launches Local Inspection, Certification, and Calibration Services to Boost Machine Tool Industry's Global Competitiveness

To help Taiwan's machine tool industry proactively respond to evolving international regulations, the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) officially launched the Local Inspection, Certification, and Calibration Service Platform for Machine Tools on July 1. By integrating the resources of public research institutions, the platform serves as a centralized hub that offers up-to-date information on safety and performance testing requirements, as well as relevant technical standards, for key export products in major global markets. This initiative aims to help businesses stay informed of regulatory changes in real time.

In addition to the online portal, BSMI has conducted a comprehensive assessment of domestic calibration and certification capacities. The platform provides consultation services and facilitates demand matching between enterprises and service providers, enabling local testing and certification. These efforts help reduce certification timelines and lower testing costs, thereby enhancing the global competitiveness of Taiwan's machine tool sector.

BSMI further explained that, in light of India's recent regulatory changes for mechanical products, they invited the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in April to brief local machine tool manufacturers on new compliance requirements and application procedures. The seminar focuses on key updates to the European Union's new Machinery Regulation (EU 2023/1230).

A senior expert from TUV SUD Taiwan, a subsidiary of the renowned German certification body, has been invited to elaborate on the regulation's major changes. These include strengthened risk assessment requirements, expanded oversight of AI and automated equipment, and clearer responsibilities for manufacturers. The objective is to equip domestic manufacturers with a deeper understanding of the new framework and support early compliance preparation.

With the EU set to fully implement the new Machinery Regulation by 2027, BSMI will continue to organize technical regulatory briefings targeting major export markets. In addition, BSMI also plans to further integrate testing and certification resources, offer consultation and matchmaking services, and promote international cooperation to strengthen Taiwan's local testing capabilities and export competitiveness.
