TISI is part of the Ministry of Industry of Thailand and specializes in product quality certification in Thailand.
The TISI certification system, which combines mandatory and voluntary certification, is practiced in Thailand. For products that meet the standards, the use of the TISI logo is permitted, and for products for which no standards have been established, TISI also implements product registration as a means of temporary certification.
The Thai government requires mandatory certification for 60 categories of products in eight areas, including: electrical equipment and accessories, medical equipment, construction materials, consumer goods, vehicles, PVC pipes, LPG gas containers and agricultural products. Other than that, the certification of other categories of products are voluntary.
The Industrial Products Standards Act authorizes the Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) to be responsible for certification in Thailand, and TISI is the government authority for mandatory certification in Thailand, as well as a standards development and management organization, a certification body, and an accreditation body for laboratory accreditation, personnel training and registration. It is worth noting that there is no non-governmental mandatory certification body in Thailand.
Expanded Information:
Product certification requires that the product conforms to the appropriate standards, and also requires that the manufacturer has a sound quality assurance system to maintain product compliance with the standards, so TISI's product certification program includes pre-issuance factory inspections and post-issuance supervisory reviews in addition to product type testing.
Including China Compulsory Certification (CCC) and official certification, CCC certification is a mandatory requirement of the Chinese state certification system for products sold in mainland China, regardless of whether the domestic production or foreign imports, where included in the CCC directory and sold in the country need to obtain CCC certification.
