The use of electronic toilet seats is becoming prevalent in domestic households. As consumer's skin is in direct contact with the products, of which the installed environment tends to be with high humidity and high temperature, concerns have been raised about hazards of electric shock and fire. With a view to protecting consumers from relevant hazards, the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection proposes to regulate electronic toilet seats in aspects of safety (CNS 60335-1 and CNS 60335-2-84), EMC (CNS 13783-1) and use of hazardous substances (Section 5 of CNS 15663) . The conformity assessment procedure will be Registration of Product Certification Scheme (Module II+IV, II+V, or II+VII) or Type-approved Batch Inspection

Draft of the Requirements on Minimum Energy Performance Standard and Energy Efficiency Rating Labelling and Inspection of Air cleaners

Proposal for amendment to the legal inspection regulation for water dispensers. To enhance consumer protection and promote efficiency of energy use, the BSMI proposes to adopt the latest version of inspection standards for the commodities. The BSMI will add test items and methods, stated in Sections 6.3 "water temperature," 6.8 "storage tank capacity," 6.10 "power consumption for preparation per 24 hours E24" and 13 "Mark: (e) water storage capacity and (j) power consumption for preparation per 24 hours E24" of the standard CNS 15929 (2016) . The conformity assessment procedures remain the same.

Requirements on Minimum Energy Performance Standard and Energy Efficiency Rating Labelling and Inspection of Air Compressors. The proposed scheme applies to both imported products and domestically manufactured products. In addition to the scheme, the proposed technical regulations also specify labelling and inspection requirements, the conformity assessment procedures and post-market supervision. Products that fail to conform to the requirements will be prohibited from being sold and placed on the domestic market.

Amendment to the Minimum Energy Performance Standard and Inspection for Self-ballasted LED Lamps.

This Draft Uganda Standard specifies performance requirements, sampling and test methods for spark ignition engine oil of passenger cars, light duty trucks, vans and related equipment meeting or exceeding API service category SJ. It does not cover engine oil for compression ignition engines, aviation equipment, outboard motors, lawn mowers, railroad locomotives or ocean going vessels.

This Draft Uganda standard specifies requirements and test methods for light and heavy duty naturally aspirated, turbo-charged or super-charged compression-ignition engines, meeting or exceeding API Service Category CH-4. It does not cover engine oil for spark ignition engines, aviation equipment, outboard motors, lawn mowers, railroad, locomotives, industrial and marine application

This Draft Uganda Standard specifies performance requirements and test methods for four-stroke cycle spark ignition engines employing a common sump containing the lubricating oil for both the engine and associated drive train (transmission, clutch, starter) of motorcycles, motor scooters, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and related equipment.

This Draft Uganda Standard specifies requirements, methods of test and sampling for conventional solvent-borne and water-borne paints suitable for permanently marking traffic-bearing bituminous or concrete road and runway surfaces. The paint shall be reflectoried unless otherwise specified. It makes provision for white, yellow and red.

This test method covers the determination of the content of chromium (including chromium oxide) in the range between 0.005 and 1.0% present in the solids of liquid coatings or in dried films obtained from previously coated substrates. There is no reason to believe that higher levels could not be determined by this test method, provided that appropriate dilutions and adjustments in specimen size and reagent quantities are made. The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
