List of controlled goods

33 Categories of Controlled Goods

The 33 categories of Controlled Goods (CGs) under CPSR are tiered into Low, Medium and High Risk CGs that have different conformity assessment approaches.

For registration of low risk CGs, the Registered Supplier will have to submit a Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity to the Consumer Product Safety Office. For medium and high risk CGs, a Certificate of Conformity issued by a designated Conformity Assessment Body is required for registration of the CG. Click to find out more about registering CGs.

Suppliers must first apply to be a Registered Supplier before supplying these Controlled Goods. Click to find out more on how to apply as a Registered Supplier.
