WTO.中国台湾等个别关税领域通报G/TBT/N/TPKM/405

 WTO.中国台湾、澎湖、金门及马祖个别关税领域通报关于汞产品进口限制草案的一般性解释
编号：G/TBT/N/TPKM/405
环境保护局此前于2008年3月26日宣布实施《汞温度计进出口限制条例》。此外，该局于2019年7月5日公布了《上市有毒化学物质及处理控制办法》修正案，自2021年1月1日起，禁止在开关、继电器、普通照明用高压汞灯和非电子测量仪器的制造中使用汞。这是宣布禁止生产上述含汞产品的时间表。至于进口，需要进一步控制。鉴于汞对环境和人体健康的危害，随着电子设备和消费电子产品的发展，人们对含汞产品的使用需求不断减少。因此，为配合《水俣汞公约》，宣布从2021年1月1日起，禁止进口加汞开关、继电器、普通照明用高压汞灯、非电子测量仪器（气压计、湿度计、压力计、温度计、血压计等），加强国内汞控制，达到维护环境安全的目的。
涵盖的产品：A、 开关和继电器，但超高精度电容和损耗测量电桥以及监控仪器中的高频射频开关和继电器除外，每个电桥、开关或继电器的最大汞含量为20毫克。B、 普通照明用高压汞灯。C、 下列非电子测量仪器，不包括安装在大型设备上或用于高精度测量的仪器：（A）气压计。（B） 湿度计。（C） 压力计。（D） 温度计。（E） 血压计。
英文原文：
The Environmental Protection Adminstration previously announced the enactment of the "Restrictions on the Imports and Sales of Mercury Thermometers" on March 26, 2008. In addition, on July 5, 2019, it announced the amendments to the "Listed Toxic Chemical Substances and the Handling Control Measures" to ban the use of mercury in the manufacture of switches, relays, high-pressure mercury lamps for general lighting, and non-electronic measuring instruments from January 1, 2021. It is the timetable for the announced ban on the manufacture of the aforementioned mercury-added products. As for imports, further control is required. In view of the harm of mercury to the environment and human health, with the development of electronic equipment and consumer electronics, the demand for the use of mercury-added products has been decreasing. Therefore, to be in line with the "Minamata Convention on Mercury", it is announced that from January 1, 2021, the imports of mercury-added switches, relays, high-pressure mercury lamps for general lighting, and non-electronic measuring instruments (barometers, hygrometers, manometers, thermometers, sphygmomanometers, etc.) are prohibited to strengthen domestic mercury control and achieve the goal of maintaining enviromental safety.
Products covered: A. Switches and relays, except very high accuracy capacitance and loss measuring bridges and high-frequency radio frequency switches and relays in monitoring and control instruments with a maximum mercury content of 20 mg per bridge, switch or relay. B. High-pressure mercury lamps for general lighting. C. The following non-electronic measuring instruments, not including those installed in large equipment or used for high-precision measuring: (A) Barometers. (B) Hygrometers. (C) Manometers. (D) Thermometers. (E) Sphygmomanometers.（技术服务中心）
