Africa-Press – Mauritius. The Consumer Protection (Control of Imports) Regulations 2017 will be amended through the promulgation of the Consumer Protection (Control of Imports) (Amendment No. 2) Regulations 2021 so as to include child restraint devices, commonly referred to as baby car seats, as a restricted good, in order to control its conformity to standards and maximise the safety and security of children travelling in vehicles.
Under the amended Regulations, importers will have to produce a certificate of conformity attesting compliance with the specifications of, either Regulation No. 44 of the Economic Commission for Europe of the United Nations – Uniform provisions concerning the approval of restraining devices for child occupants of power-driven vehicles or the newer Regulation No. 129 of the Economic Commission for Europe of the United Nations – Uniform provisions concerning the approval of enhanced Child Restraint Systems used on board of motor vehicles. The Regulations would come into operation in May 2022.
