NOTIFICATION
Addendum
The following communication, dated 28 April
2025, is being circulated at the request of the delegation of The Separate
Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu.
_______________
Title: Proposal for
Amendments to the Legal Inspection Requirements for Exterior Tiles
Description: The measure notified in document
G/TBT/N/TPKM/425/Add.3 will be implemented on 1 August 2025. The relevant
inspection standard, CNS 9737, has been revised to address technical challenges
in applying the dovetail form back feet requirement to small-sized exterior
tiles—specifically, those with a surface area of less than 4 cm². Accordingly,
the revised standard will exempt such tiles from this requirement. In addition,
the revised standard will introduce a new requirement for labeling the
"year, month" or "year, week" of manufacture. This
notification serves to inform WTO Members of these forthcoming changes and the
adoption of the updated version of CNS 9737 as the inspection standard.
