With the intension of creating a new paradigm in safety system, we plan to move from the administrative regulation oriented safety management system to a self-regulatory safety management system by requiring manufacturers or suppliers to have self-regulate and maintain responsibility and by conducting post market surveillances to monitor the markets. The 11 items including laminators and air purifiers subject to the Safety Certification are going to fall within the scope of the Self-Regulation Safety Confirmation. The 21 items including video game consoles, and studying devices using audio and/or video currently subject to the Self-Regulation Safety Confirmation will be subject to the Supplier's Declaration of Conformity. With an aim to improve the subordinate statutes by eliminating unnecessary burdens to citizens, certification grounds for multi-functioning machines have been established and the mandatory period for storing the self-inspection results has been reduced from for more than 3 years to for a period of 3 years. The products requiring safety maintenance such as solvent recovering dryers and bedside lamps are newly added to the scope of the Supplier's Declaration of Conformity. |

Food
The Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) has reviewed the Food Regulations and proposes to make an editorial amendment to the format for the nutrition information panel (NIP) as specified under the Twelfth Schedule. Presently, the NIP format under the Twelfth Schedule requires that the units for nutrients (other than energy, protein, fat and carbohydrate) are to be declared in "g", and further specifies that sodium, potassium and cholesterol are to be declared in "mg". This may give the erroneous impression that the units for vitamins and minerals (as well as any other nutrient) are to be declared in "g". Some vitamins and minerals are added in microgram (mcg) quantities, while other vitamins and minerals are added in milligram (mg) quantities. In addition, there are other forms of measurements which are commonly used for certain vitamins, such as "I.U" (International Units), and the present NIP format does not reflect such forms of declaration. It is proposed to amend the Twelfth Schedule to specify that the nutrients are to be declared either in mcg, mg, g or other units of measurement, as appropriate. This will better address the forms of measurement currently employed by the industry. |

The existing Environmental Protection and Management Act, Environmental Protection and Management (Registrable Goods) Order and Environmental Protection and Management (Energy Conservation) Regulations will be amended to i) extend the scope of registrable air-conditioners; and ii) to raise minimum energy efficiency standards for registrable air-conditioners and refrigerators supplied in Singapore from 1 September 2013.
The existing legislation will be ported over to Energy Conservation Act from 1 September 2013.
Single-phase non-ducted split type of air-conditioner employing technologies that vary the output of the compressor, by means other than start-stop operation, and with cooling capacity 10kW or lower are registrable goods.
From 1 September 2013 onwards, air-conditioners of this category up to a cooling capacity of 17.6kW will be registrable.
From 1 Sep 2013 onwards, all registrable air-conditioners and refrigerators supplied in Singapore must comply with new minimum energy efficiency standards specified below:
(i) For casement and window type air-conditioners, the Coefficient Of Performance (COP) =2.90.
(ii) For split type (non-inverter) air-conditioners with one indoor unit (cooling capacity less than 10kW), the COP = 3.34.
(iii) For split type (non-inverter) air-conditioners with one indoor unit (cooling capacity equal to or more than 10kW), the COP = 2.78.
(iv) For split type (non-inverter) air-conditioners with more than one indoor unit (cooling capacity less than 10kW), the COP = 3.34.
(v) For split type (non-inverter) air-conditioners with more than one indoor unit (cooling capacity equal to or more than 10kW), the COP = 2.64.
(vi) For split type (inverter) air conditioners with one indoor unit (cooling capacity less than 10kW), the COP = 3.06 and weighted COP3 = 3.34.
(vii) For split type (inverter) air conditioners with one indoor unit (cooling capacity equal to or more than 10kW), the weighted COP3 = 2.78.
(viii) For split type (inverter) air-conditioner with more than one indoor unit (cooling capacity less than 10kW), the COP = 3.06 and weighted COP3 = 3.34.
(ix) For split type (inverter) air-conditioner with more than one indoor unit (cooling capacity equal to or more than 10kW), the weighted COP3 = 2.64.
(x) For refrigerator without freezer, the Annual Energy Consumption in kWh (AEC) = (368 + 0.892 x Vadj tot) x 0.640.
(xi) For refrigerator with freezer, the AEC = (465 + 1.378 x Vadj tot) x 0.585.
(xii) For refrigerator with freezer and through-the-door ice dispenser, the AEC = (585 + 1.378 x Vadj tot) x 0.560.
3 Weighted COP means the sum of 0.4 x COP at full-load cooling capacity and 0.6 x COP at part-load cooling capacity. |
