of business operators and protecting the rights and interests of consumers.
2.The term "low energy air gun for recreation" as used in these criteria shall mean a commodity for
recreation purposes in the form of a gun with kinetic energy at its discharging end greater than 0.08
Joule but no more than 3 Joules while the kinetic energy is produced by compressed gases, mechanical
springs, batteries, or a combination thereof to propel the projectile.
The low energy air guns for recreation referred to in the preceding paragraph do not include the
firearms, as are used in the Act Governing the Control Over Guns, Ammunition, Knives and Weapons.
3.The following shall be labeled on low energy air guns:
(1)The name or model No. of the product
(2)The diameter of the projectile (in millimeters, mm)
(3)The kinetic energy at its discharging end (in Joules, J)
(4)The firing range (in meters, M)
(5)The place of origin
(6)The name, address and telephone number of the manufacturer or the outsourcing firm. If the product
is imported, the name, address and telephone number of the importer.
(7)Instructions for use or precautions.
(8)Warning instructions.

(1)Suitable player’s age by kinetic energy at the discharging end:
a.Kinetic energy at the discharging end exceeds 0.08 Joule but not reaching 1 Joule: No less than 14
years of age.
b.Kinetic energy at the discharging end ranging from 1 Joule to less than 2 Joules: No less than 16
years of age.
c.Kinetic energy at the discharging end ranging between 2 Joules and 3 Joules: No less than 18 years of
age.
(2)Misuse may cause severe injuries. When in use, ensure that goggles have been worn properly by the
player and all other persons inside the firing range.
(3)The product shall not be remodeled or altered for use and metallic projectiles shall not be used.
