V. MODE OF REGULATION AND TYPES OF CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT REGIMES

COUNTRY TYPES OF CON-FORMITY ASSESS-

MENT REGIMES

MODE OF REGULATION

Singapore Registration The regulatory regime consists of two phases – pre-market approval and post-market surveillance. There is a regulator intervention prior to the entry of the regulated products into the market. The controlled goods have to go through a structured process of approval, which starts with testing and ends with labelling. Please see Section VI - Flowchart of Singapore's Regime. After entry into the market, SPRING Singapore conducts regular visits to shops and retail outlets to ensure that only registered controlled goods are displayed or offered for sale. Treatment of Controlled Goods Registration of controlled goods is based on certification by designated Conformity Assessment Bodies.

V. MODE OF REGULATION AND TYPES OF CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT REGIMES

COUNTRY TYPES OF CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT REGIMES

MODE OF REGULATION

Singapore Registration Goods listed in section IV (i.e. regulated goods) have to be registered with NEA and be labelled where applicable, before they can be supplied in Singapore. Any importer or manufacturer who wishes to supply regulated goods in Singapore must also register themselves with NEA. A certificate of registration is issued to the registered supplier if the good is allowed to be supplied in Singapore. To obtain the certification of registration, the supplier will need to:

- Submit a test report that must be prepared in the prescribed format. - Ensure that the test report is provided by either a testing laboratory that is accredited by

the Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC) to carry out the test in accordance with the applicable test standards; or a testing laboratory that is accredited by their local accreditation bodies which have signed a Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) with the SAC; or the manufacturer’s in-house test laboratory.

- Ensure that the test standard is carried out in accordance with the test standards spelt out in section IV and at 230 V AC.

- Ensure that the good meets MEPS, where applicable NEA conducts regular visits to shops and retail outlets to ensure that the regulated goods offered for sale are registered with NEA, meet MEPS and labelled in the manner prescribed in the regulations.
