TISI Certification

Certification Introduction

Thailand implements a TISI certification system that combines mandatory and voluntary certification. For products that meet the standards, the use of the TISI mark is allowed, and for products that have not been developed standards, TISI also implements product registration as a temporary means of certification.

The Thai government requires the implementation of mandatory certification of products in 60 major categories, covering eight areas, including: electrical equipment and accessories, medical equipment, construction materials, consumer goods, vehicles, PVC pipes, LPG gas containers and agricultural products. In addition, the certification of other categories of products are voluntary certification. Voluntary certification can only be applied for by local manufacturers.

The Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) is authorized by the Industrial Products Standards Act to be responsible for certification in Thailand, and is the governmental authority for mandatory certification in Thailand, as well as the standards development and management body, the certification body, and the laboratory accreditation, personnel training and registration body. It is important to note that there is no non-government mandatory certification body in Thailand.
