Brent, The Taiwan BCIQ terminology was changed last year to BSMI. It is my understanding that at the present time BSMI only imposes an EMC requirement and certification on ITE. We market adapter powered printers there (120V) and have not been required to obtain any safety certifications, although BSMI is working toward a safety certification process.
In your case, the Taiwan EMC certification number and mark would probably go on the main ITE product, as measured using the planned AC adapter.

We are manufacturing an AC/DC Adapter for an end product that is a typical ITE product (with a processor and I/O ports). After reviewing the List of Electronic Products that are "Subject to Measures Governing Registration of Product Certification" I could not locate any reference to a Safety Standard for potential categories for our equipment (8471.41.00.00). Therefore, I do not believe that the safety certification is required. On the other hand, I am aware that regulations are changing on a daily basis. If the Safety Certification IS required, I would also appreciate a recommendation on test laboratories/agents that can assist in the process. Thank you very much for your kind assistance, Brent Taira Eos Corporation ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
