2.0 Introduction
The objective of the Consumer Protection (Safety Requirements) Regulations or CPSR is
to safeguard consumers’ interest by ensuring household products, designated as Controlled
Goods, meet the specified safety standards.
Undoubtedly, consumers today are prepared to pay for products that are safe and of high quality.
The development of the CPSR is therefore consistent with the growing sophistication of
consumers in Singapore.
The CPSO is an office overseen by Enterprise Singapore that is responsible for the
implementation of the CPSR. One of the roles of the CPSO is to ensure compliance by the
industry on the registration of thirty-three (33) categories of Controlled Goods. The definitions
and applicable safety standards of the Controlled Goods are provided in Chapter 4 of this
information booklet. Some examples of Controlled and Non-Controlled Goods are identified in B
and C respectively.
Suppliers of Controlled Goods for consumers in Singapore must first be registered with the
CPSO as Registered Suppliers (Chapter 5.2). Registered Suppliers are required to register
each model of Controlled Goods with the CPSO. Registrations of Controlled Goods must be
supported with either:
1. Certificate of Conformity (CoC) issued by designated third party Conformity
Assessment Bodies (CABs) in Singapore or in Singapore’s Mutual Recognition
Agreement (MRA) partners, i.e. CABs (Certification/Testing), or
2. Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) declared by Registered Suppliers.
Once the model has been registered with the CPSO, the Controlled Goods can then be
advertised for supply and/or supplied in Singapore.
We would like to draw your attention to Regulation 4(1) of the Regulations, where it is stipulated
that no person shall trade, supply or advertise for the purpose of supplying any of the Controlled
Goods in Singapore after the specified dates, unless the Controlled Goods are registered with
the CPSO and are affixed with the SAFETY Mark. Hence, merely labelling products or stamping
receipts ‘For Export Only’ is not an excuse for not registering Controlled Goods. A person guilty
of an offence under Regulation 4, shall be liable on conviction, to a fine not exceeding
$10,000/- or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to both.

About the SAFETY Mark: The SAFETY Mark comprises of a safety logo enclosed in a square
on the left and the word “SAFETY MARK” enclosed in a rectangle on the right. Below the logo
is a unique certification number traceable to the registrant. The colour used is Pantone 032C.
Refer to Appendix F for Guidelines for Using Safety Mark on Registered Controlled Goods
An overview of the registration process for Controlled Goods is illustrated in the flowchart next

3.0 Key Regulations
Regulation 4(1): No person shall, in the course of any trade or business, supply or
advertise for the purpose of supply any Controlled Goods after the
effective date specified in the First Schedule unless-
i) such Controlled Goods are registered Controlled Goods
conforming to the safety requirements specified by the CPSO for
those goods; and
ii) such Controlled Goods have affixed to them the Safety Mark in
accordance with Part III.
Regulation 4(2): Where any person contravenes paragraph (1), he shall be guilty of an
offence under section 11(2) of the Act, and the CPSO may-
1 require such person to effect a recall of the Controlled Goods and
keep the CPSO informed of the progress of such recall; and
2 take such steps as may be necessary to inform users of the
Controlled Goods of the potential danger of such goods.
Regulation 8(1): The registration of any Controlled Goods shall be valid for a period of 3
years or the period of validity of the certificate of conformity of the
Controlled Goods, whichever is the less, and may be renewed.
Regulation 24(4)(a): A Registered Supplier who fails or neglects to effect a recall of the
registered Controlled Goods required by the CPSO under paragraph
(2)(b)(i) shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to

Proposed Change:
As per Regulation 4(1) of the CPSR, all Controlled Goods supplied in Singapore, in the
course of any trade or business, need to be –
1) Duly registered with the CPSO in accordance to the requirements specified.
2) Have the Safety Mark affixed to them in accordance to the characteristics and form
stipulated by the CPSO
It is an offence to supply any Controlled Goods without meeting the listed requirements
above. Any person found guilty of the offence shall be liable on conviction to a fine up to
$10,000 or to imprisonment for a term up to 2 years or both.
The CPSO may also, per Regulation 4(2) of the CPSR, require such person to –
1) Conduct a product recall of affected Controlled Good, and provide periodic updates
on the progress.
2) Inform users of the affected Controlled Good on the potential dangers involved.
Any person who fails or neglects to effect a recall when required by the CPSO shall be guilty
of an offence and liable on conviction to a fine up to $2,000, or to imprisonment for a term up
to 12 months or to both
As per Regulation 5(2) of the CPSR, any importer or manufacturer, in the course of any
trade or business, who intends to supply, or advertise for supply controlled goods in
Singapore shall apply to the CPSO –
1) To be registered as a Registered Supplier
2) To register any controlled goods which the importer or manufacturer intends to
supply, or advertise for supply in Singapore
It is an offence to supply or advertise for supply any controlled goods without meeting the
listed requirements above. An importer or manufacturer found guilty of the offence and shall
be liable on conviction to a fine up to $2,000 or to imprisonment for a term up to 12 months
or to both.

4.0 Controlled Goods and their Applicable Safety Standards and
Requirements
Controlled Goods are required to be tested to the minimum edition of the safety standards
stated in this chapter. In addition to the specified safety standards, Controlled Goods are
required to fulfil the CPSO’s requirements. A compilation of the safety standards and the
CPSO’s requirements each Controlled Good is required to fulfil is tabled in Chapter 4.1.
The CPSO categorises the Controlled Goods into three risk levels - Low, Medium, and High.
The table below shows the conformity assessment approach adopted for each of the three
risk levels.
Risk Level
Conformity Assessment Approach
Low
Type testing
1
+ Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC)
Medium
Type testing + Certificate of Conformity (CoC)
High
Type testing + CoC + high risk requirement for renewal (Chapter 5.4)
Note:
(1) Type testing is testing carried out by recognised testing laboratories to determine whether a product
complies with the specified safety standard.
The test report including its test certificate (if applicable) must be provided for all Controlled
Goods. A test report dated more than three (3) years shall be rejected.
For Controlled Goods incorporated with additional functions:
a) The additional function must be tested to its applicable safety standard.
b) If a product has both functions of a Controlled Good and Non-Controlled Good, the
product should be classified a Controlled Good as a whole. The fact that it may have
other functions that do not fall within the 33 categories is irrelevant. However, if the
product with ‘controlled’ and ‘non-controlled’ functions are capable of being entirely
and physically separated, such that it can be treated and sold as two separate and
distinct products, then the registration can apply to only the ‘controlled’ product, and
not the ‘non-controlled’ product.

5.0 Registration
5.1 Parties that Need to Apply for Registration
No party shall be allowed to advertise and/or supply the Controlled Goods unless they have
been registered with the CPSO. Registered Suppliers are responsible for the safety and
compliance of Controlled Goods registered under their name. The registration will be
withdrawn when the party registered as ‘Registered Supplier’ ceases to supply the Controlled
Goods registered by it. For instance, where it ceases to carry on such business or is no longer
registered with the Accounting & Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA).
In general, only one party in the chain of supply of the Controlled Goods in Singapore needs
to register the Controlled Goods with the CPSO. The following descriptions for each party
provide more details on when registration is needed:
Importer
Importers who import Controlled Goods that are meant for sale in Singapore are required to
apply for registration with the CPSO. No registration is needed if the Controlled Goods are
meant for export only. However, these ‘For Export Only’ Controlled Goods shall not be
advertised, supplied, displayed in any retail outlets and/or made available for sale in Singapore
under any circumstances. Merely labelling the Controlled Goods or stamping the receipts with
‘For Export Only’ is also not allowed.
Parallel Importer
Any parallel importer of the same brand and model of Controlled Goods are also required to
apply for registration.
Retailer
Retailers are required to apply for registration if they import the Controlled Goods themselves.
Retailers who source for registered Controlled Goods and subsequently make modifications
to the Controlled Goods which impact the safety or change the brand and model number of
the Controlled Goods need to apply for registration as well.
Manufacturer
Unless another party in the chain of supply has already registered the Controlled Goods with
the CPSO, manufacturers in Singapore who supply the Controlled Goods to be sold in
Singapore are required to apply for registration.

New Distributor
When a company (Registered Supplier) relegates its ownership of its registered Controlled
Goods to another business entity, the latter has to re-register the Controlled Goods with the
CPSO Approval from the CPSO is required for the new distributor to take over registration of
the Controlled Goods. Thereafter, the new distributor has to go to a CAB (Certification) or CAB
(Certification – MRA) to obtain the CoC prior to having the Controlled Goods re-registered with
the CPSO. For Controlled Goods registered on the basis of SDoC, the new distributor has to
approach the CPSO. Please refer to Chapter 4 for more details on product categorisations to
determine if CoC or SDoC is applicable.
5.2 Registration of Supplier of Controlled Goods
Suppliers who wish to supply the Controlled Goods to consumers in Singapore would first
have to register with the CPSO. After completing the registration process with the CPSO, they
will thereafter be referred to as ‘Registered Suppliers’. Registration to be a “Registered

• Company B to approach CAB (Certification or Certification-MRA) who issued the CoC
and apply for a new CoC with the following options:
a) to retain the certification number with the current expiry date; or
b) to apply for new certification number with 3 years expiry date
• Company A and Company B to submit any other information or document as required
by CAB and/or the CPSO
• Company B to submit the new CoC to the CPSO for updating with a fee of $50 plus
GST per registration under option (a) or for registration with a fee of $180 plus GST
under option (b). The CPSO will withdraw the Controlled Good’s registration from
company A and reregister it under company B
Transfer of SDoCs (From Company A to Company B)
• An SDoC is a self-declaration by Company A that its product conforms to relevant
safety requirements, therefore transfer of SDoC between companies are not allowed.
Company B will need to do its own self-declaration.

• model number
• year/date of production
The Registered Suppliers may approach the CPSO to determine whether re-certification of
the registered Controlled Goods is required as a result of modification.
The Registered Suppliers shall update their technical file on the registered Controlled Goods
with details of the change and shall be responsible for all safety issues as a result of
modifications and other changes to the registered Controlled Goods.
In a case where there is modification to the registered Controlled Goods, the following
scenarios shall apply:
1) If the modification does not result in a change in the model number even though
the change is technical:
i) The Controlled Goods do not have to be re-registered with the CPSO.
ii) The Registered Supplier only needs to submit the details of modification to the
CABs (Certification) or CABs (Certification-MRA) for re-certification. For
Controlled Goods that are registered based on SDoC, the Registered Supplier
shall submit the details of modification to the Safety Authority.
iii) The Registered Supplier is to update the technical file with the test report and
certification attesting that the modification still meets the safety standard
requirements.
2) If the modification does not result in a change in the model number and the change
is non-technical, which does not affect the safety of the Controlled Goods, e.g.:
merely change(s) in the aesthetics that does (do) not affect the safety of the Controlled
Goods:
i) The Controlled Goods do not have to be re-registered with the Safety Authority.
ii) The Controlled Goods do not have to be re-certified with the CABs
(Certification) or CABs (Certification – MRA). For Controlled Goods that are
registered based on SDoC, the Controlled Goods do not need to be re-certified
with the Safety Authority.
iii) The Registered Supplier only needs to update the technical file with the
modification
iv) The Registered Supplier shall be responsible for ensuring that the modification
does not compromise the safety of the Controlled Goods.
3) If the modification results in a change in the model number and the change is
technical:
i) The Controlled Goods have to be certified with the CABs (Certification) or CABs
(Certification-MRA) and registered with the CPSO as per procedure indicated
in Chapter 5.3

6.0 SAFETY Mark
Objective and rationale
Marking of registered Controlled Goods will enable consumers to differentiate between
registered and non-registered Controlled Goods and to participate in their enforcement. It also
serves as a deterrent and a means to check for non-registered Controlled Goods in the market.
Marking
All Controlled Goods registered with the CPSO must bear the SAFETY Mark before they can
be supplied to the Singapore market. Registered Suppliers are responsible for ensuring that
their registered Controlled Goods are affixed with the SAFETY Mark in accordance to the
guidelines stipulated by the CPSO as provided for in Appendix F. The CPSO will conduct spot-
checks on manufacturers’ / importers’ / traders’ warehouses when it is deemed necessary.
Where to apply the SAFETY Mark
The SAFETY Mark can either be affixed on the Controlled Goods or their packaging (to be
affixed in a prominent location).
Preparation of SAFETY Mark
The CABs (Certification) or CABs (Certification – MRA) shall allocate certification numbers to
the Registered Suppliers that have submitted Controlled Goods for the purpose of certification.
For SDoC, the CPSO will allocate the certification numbers. The allocated certification
numbers are to help Registered Suppliers in preparing the marking of the Controlled Goods
in advance. It does not imply that the Controlled Goods have been certified by the CABs
(Certification) or CABs (Certification – MRA) or registered with the CPSO. Registered
Suppliers shall mark the Controlled Goods ONLY upon receiving the ‘Letter of Approval
(Appendix E ).
Certification Number
The certification number (XXYYYY-ZZ) is a unique number issued by the CABs (Certification)
or CABs (Certification – MRA) which is traceable to the Registered Suppliers and the
registered Controlled Goods. The connotation of the certification number is as follows:
XX = year of certification (e.g. 01 for year 2001)
YYYY = serial number (e.g. 1234)
ZZ = CAB identity code (e.g. 11 for CAB ‘A”)
Using SAFETY Mark in Advertisements or Publicity Materials
Please refer to Appendix G for the guidelines.

7.0 Technical File
Every Registered Supplier in Singapore is required to maintain technical files of all their
registered Controlled Goods as required in Regulation 16 of the Regulations. The contents of
the technical files are specified in the table below. These files are to be maintained by the
Registered Suppliers for at least ten (10) years from the date of expiry of the CoC or the last
renewed CoC.
The maintenance of the technical files is necessary to enable the CPSO to carry out
investigations in the event of a complaint, incident or accident. Regulation 16 also requires
that upon receiving any request by the CPSO, the Registered Suppliers must provide the
relevant technical files to the CPSO within seven (7) calendar days.
In addition, the Registered Suppliers shall be responsible for the regular updating of the
technical files especially if there have been modifications made to the registered Controlled
Goods. Supplementary testing and certification are required if there are modifications with
safety implications.

Appendix F - Guidelines for Using Safety Mark on Registered Controlled
Goods
The SAFETY Mark comprises of a safety logo enclosed in a square on the left and the word
“SAFETY MARK” enclosed in a rectangle on the right. Below the logo is a unique certification
number traceable to the registrant. The colour used is Pantone 032C.
1) SAFETY Mark without Contrasting Background (e.g. embossed on body of
Controlled Goods)
The safety logo, letters and certification number shall be of raised or lowered depth of not less
than 0.51 mm.
The SAFETY Mark (consisting of both the safety logo and the word “SAFETY MARK”) shall
have a height of not less than 9.5 mm. The certification number shall have a height of not less
than 2.8 mm.
Any SAFETY Mark with dimension smaller than the above has to be approved by the CPSO.
2) SAFETY Mark with Contrasting Background (e.g. silk screened on body of Controlled
Goods or printed on rating labels or carton boxes or as standalone adhesive labels)
The SAFETY Mark (consisting of both the safety logo and the word “SAFETY MARK”) shall
have a height of not less than 6.0 mm. The certification number shall have a height of not less
than 1.6 mm.
Any SAFETY Mark with dimension smaller than the above has to be approved by the CPSO.
3) Points for adherence
i. The SAFETY Mark shall be fully reproduced with the safety logo enclosed in a square
on the left, the word “SAFETY MARK” enclosed in a rectangle on the right and the
certification number traceable to the registrant across the bottom.
ii. The SAFETY Mark can be embossed or silk screened on any coloured material or
printed with the same colour used for rating labels or carton box markings. When

printed as standalone adhesive labels, the colour of the safety logo, the background
for the word “SAFETY MARK” and the certification number is Pantone 032C.
iii. The SAFETY Mark shall be easily discernible on the Controlled Goods.
iv. The SAFETY Mark shall be indelible and legible. The marking shall not be removed
when rubbed lightly with a piece of cloth soaked with petroleum, spirit or water.
v. Rating labels or standalone adhesive labels with the SAFETY Mark shall not come
loose or curled at the edges.
vi. Please refer to the bromide provided by the CPSO for size relationship between the
safety logo and the word “SAFETY MARK”. They could be enlarged or reduced
proportionately and still meet the size requirements stipulated in point (1) and (2),
depending on whether the background is non-contrasting or contrasting.
Compliance is checked by visual inspection as well as the test mentioned in above
paragraph (iv).
4) SAFETY Mark on AC Adaptors
For AC Adaptors (to be used with other products), registration is granted for the adaptors
only and does not cover the other products. Therefore, only the adaptors should be affixed
with the SAFETY Mark.
However, if the packaging containing both the AC Adaptors and other products is to be affixed
with the SAFETY Mark, then the statement “This SAFETY Mark applies to the AC Adaptor
only” has to be printed near the SAFETY Mark.
5) SAFETY Mark on 3-Pin Mains Plugs
For 3-pin mains plug (13 and 15 Amperes), the SAFETY Mark must carry the statement ‘for
mains plug’ below the certification number.
(for mains plug)

Appendix G - Guidelines for Using Safety Mark in Advertisements or
Publicity Materials
1) The SAFETY Mark shall be used for products registered under the Consumer Protection
(Safety Requirements) Regulations.
2) The SAFETY Mark is only complete with the respective certification number. When used in
advertisements, the SAFETY Mark with the certification number for each registered model
should be used if there is more than one model advertised. If there is a space constraint, a
single SAFETY Mark may be used.
3) The following statement may be used with the SAFETY Mark:
i. “The product (state the name and model no.) has been type-tested and considered to
be in compliance with the safety requirements of the Standard (state the standard) and
hence registered and entered into the Register of Registered Controlled Goods, (under
pursuant to) the Consumer Protection (Safety Requirements) Regulations 2002. The
registration is NOT an endorsement of the quality control system of the manufacturing
process”.
ii. “Look for the SAFETY Mark”
iii. “Insist on the SAFETY Mark”
iv. “Safe Home with the SAFETY Mark”
4) Statements like “approved by XXX”, “XXX-tested safe for use”, “XXX-certified” should NOT
be used. Use of such statements is misleading because the scheme only requires one
sample of the said model to be type-tested.
5) Any statement referring to the Consumer Protection (Safety Requirements) Regulations or
the SAFETY Mark, other than those stated in Paragraph iii) above should be sent to the
CPSO for vetting before publication. For any enquiries, please contact us at 6898 1800 or

Appendix P - Controlled Goods Subject to Additional Requirements by
Other Agency(ies) in Singapore
The information on this page is to inform all relevant suppliers of air-conditioners and
refrigerators on the endorsed restriction on the use of HC refrigerants in Singapore by the
Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF).
While we recognise that HC refrigerants have an edge over some other refrigerants in terms
of their environmental impact, the main consideration is that HC refrigerant is extremely
flammable and would pose a potential safety hazard to users and occupants. These are
additional risks which can be avoided if safer alternative refrigerants or other refrigerant blends
are used. Notwithstanding the restriction on certain applications, SCDF, together with the
CPSO would continue to monitor the market for emerging alternatives to HC refrigerants that
could better address the safety, environmental and economic concerns.
Refrigerators and Air-conditioners for use domestically which are currently classified as
Controlled Goods are allowed to use HC refrigerants under the Consumer Protection (Safety
Requirements) Regulations (CPSR). Details are highlighted in the table below:
Policy Recommendations on Usage of Hydrocarbon Refrigerant
Product Category
Detail on restriction on HC usage
Domestic refrigerators
and air-conditioners
(eg. Stand-Alone and
wall mounted air-con
units)
To allow the use of HC refrigerant for domestic refrigerators subject
to a charge weight cap of 150g of HC refrigerant and the refrigerant
must be hermetically sealed within the refrigerator (reference from
IEC 60335-2-24) and safety requirement under the Consumer
Protection (Safety Requirements) Regulations (CPSR).
Advisory label requirements on domestic refrigerators
To allow the use of HC refrigerant in air-conditioners subject to safety
requirement under the CPSR (e.g. Non-drop-in
1
unit Mobile split air-
conditioner, Room air-conditioner
Suppliers are to refer to the Circular on the Implementation of Advisory Label for Domestic
Refrigerators Using Flammable Refrigerant in Singapore on the advisory label guidelines.
Details of the circular can be found here.

Drop-in replacements refer to the direct replacement of refrigerant in existing equipment or application with alternative
refrigerant, without modifying the operating specifications and design of the equipment or application.
