Certification introduction
TISI is the abbreviation of Thai Industrial Standards Institute. TISI is a department under the Ministry of Industry of Thailand, responsible for formulating standards and international standards that meet domestic needs, and monitoring products and conformity assessment procedures to ensure that standards and recognition are met. TISI is not only the government agency responsible for compulsory certification in Thailand, but also a standard setting and management agency, a certification agency, and a laboratory accreditation, personnel training and registration agency. It is worth noting that Thailand does not have a non-governmental mandatory certification body.

Thailand implements a TISI certification system that combines compulsory certification and voluntary certification. For products that meet standards, the TISI mark is allowed. For products that have not yet formulated standards, TISI also implements product registration as a temporary certification method.

The Thai Industrial Standards Institute TISI develops standards to meet the needs and development of the country's industry, businesses, economic government and society, as well as government policy support, consumer protection, and environmental and natural resource protection. TISI provides product certification programs, including two types of certification marks, namely voluntary certification marks and compulsory certification marks.
