The Indonesian ministry of trade recently issued rules requiring safety checks and labelling for electronic devices and goods, including vacuum cleaners, crayons, rubber footwear, mattresses and handkerchiefs, which contain hazardous chemicals. The new regulation will be effective from August 14 and will apply to products already in the market.

Importers and producers will be given a year to comply, according to Indonesian media reports.

The trade ministry will issue a register of goods that have passed the safety test and those that fail would be banned. (DS)
