The implementation of mandatory standards, regardless of revision or newly drafting, often cause compliance efforts for stakeholders. The fact that these aforementioned standards do not adopt any international counterpart may increase the potential risks. Foreign stakeholders are advised to evaluate the latest version and take necessary actions during the transition period.
