▍What is TISI Certification?
TISI is short for Thai Industrial Standards Institute, affiliating to Thailand Industry Department. TISI is responsible for formulating the domestic and international standards to meet the local needs, supervise the products and qualified assessment procedure to ensure the tandard compliance and recognition.
TISI is a governmental authorized regulatory organization for compulsory certification in Thailand and also the management institute for standard formulation and certification .On the other hand, it is responsible for lab approval, training and registration. We also have to mention that there is no non-governmental compulsory certification body in Thailand.
There is voluntary and compulsory certification in Thailand. For products that meet the standards, the TISI logo is allowed (see Figures 1 and 2). For products that have not yet been standardized, TISI also implements product registration as a temporary means of certification.
