Joint Inspection Campaign on Toys: Tightened Controls on Safety and IP Infringements
為確保玩具買得安心、用得安全，經濟部標準局及智慧局今（12）日共同召開記者會，由標準局針對玩具檢驗規範與管理制度；智慧局就商標及著作權相關規定提出說明。 標準局說明，依國家標準對玩具之定義，凡設計、製造、銷售、陳列或標示供 14 歲以下兒童玩耍遊戲之產品均稱之為玩具。目前已依國家標準將31類玩具列為應施檢驗範圍，於進口或出廠前須符合檢驗規定，貼有商品安全標章，方能進入國內銷售。主要檢驗項目包括：化學性，如塑化劑、重金屬；機械物理性，如小物件、銳邊；電驅動性，如短路、絕緣保護；生物性，如生菌數；及警告標示文字等，以確保玩具的安全性，降低兒童使用風險。 標準
WISECODE Take
Many importers mistakenly believe that passing safety inspections by the BSMI is enough, overlooking that unauthorized images on packaging can trigger trademark and copyright enforcement by the TIPO. On August 12, 2026, the two agencies jointly announced intensified crackdowns on safety for 31 categories of toys, alongside strict enforcement against copyright and trademark infringements. Violators face fines up to NT$2 million and potential criminal liabilities. For authorized distributors, this serves as a market-clearing event against low-quality infringers, while businesses outside the under-14 toy sector remain unaffected. Wisdom Code provides trademark monitoring services to help brands verify compliance before product launch. We suggest two actions: First, verify IP authorization territories and validity periods before importing. Second, cross-check the Commodity Safety Information Center database to avoid preventive e-commerce delisting.
