Consumers can do their part in keeping their families safe by looking out for
the SAFETY Mark when purchasing household electrical, electronic and gas
appliances.

The Consumer Protection (Safety Requirements) Regulations (CPSR)

requires 33 categories of household electrical, electronic and gas appliances
& accessories also known as Controlled Goods, to be tested to specified
safety standards and affixed with the SAFETY Mark before they can be sold in
Singapore. These include testing for safety measures against fire, electric
shock, explosion and other hazards that could result in injury, death or
property damage.
