How to Apply for TISI Certification in Thailand
We assist manufacturers, importers, and distributors in obtaining TISI certification in Thailand so regulated products can be imported, distributed, and sold legally.
Introduction
Products sold or imported into Thailand that fall under regulated categories must comply with standards set by the Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI). TISI certification ensures that products meet Thailand’s safety, quality, and technical standards before they can be legally distributed or sold in the Thai market.
TISI operates under the Ministry of Industry and regulates a wide range of products including electrical appliances, construction materials, industrial equipment, and consumer goods. Certain products are classified as mandatory standards, meaning they must receive TISI certification before importation or sale.
Businesses that manufacture, import, or distribute regulated products in Thailand must apply for TISI certification or product approval before their goods can be released through customs or sold domestically.
UnionSPACE Corporate Services assists companies in navigating the TISI application process, ensuring that products meet the necessary regulatory requirements and obtain certification efficiently.
The Scope
Product eligibility and standard assessment
We review the product specifications to determine whether the product falls under mandatory or voluntary TISI standards and identify the applicable Thai industrial standard before proceeding.
Product testing and compliance review
Where required, we coordinate product testing at an approved laboratory and review compliance with safety, performance, material, and technical requirements under the applicable TISI standard.
Preparing and submitting the application
We assist in preparing the certification application, compiling technical documentation, coordinating test reports, and communicating with TISI officials throughout the review process.
Certification approval and product registration
Once approved, the product receives TISI certification, allowing legal importation, distribution, and sale in Thailand, subject to applicable labeling and regulatory conditions.
