01 / THE BIG PICTURE

Understand the requirements.
See the opportunity.

The Thai Industrial Standards Institute, or TISI, administers Thai industrial product standards and associated licensing. Products covered by compulsory standards need the relevant compliance route, while voluntary certification serves a different purpose. The existence of a Thai Industrial Standard alone does not establish that every product in the market needs a compulsory licence.

The project should begin with the exact product category, standard and supply arrangement. Importers and local manufacturers can face different application details. Product testing and manufacturing quality evidence need to describe the goods that will actually be placed on the Thai market, including their factory and model range.

Review the current standard and the instrument making it compulsory, where applicable. Compare product ratings, dimensions, materials and intended use with the defined scope. Keep transition dates and exclusions visible in the project plan, especially when a revised standard affects products already supplied under an earlier version.

  • Record the applicable TIS number and product definition.
CHAPTER 02Define the applicant and factoryIdentify the Thai applicant, overseas manufacturer where relevant, brands and manufacturing locations. TISI’s application…

Identify the Thai applicant, overseas manufacturer where relevant, brands and manufacturing locations. TISI’s application guidance requires consistent product and company information. A useful preparation exercise checks whether commercial names, legal entities and factory addresses match across the application, reports and supporting authorizations.

  • Explain subcontracted or multiple manufacturing locations early.
CHAPTER 03Plan product testing and samplesAgree the applicable testing and sample arrangements under the licensing process. TISI’s import guidance distinguishes sample…

Agree the applicable testing and sample arrangements under the licensing process. TISI’s import guidance distinguishes sample handling and technical assessment from the final import-for-sale licence. Avoid shipping unplanned samples before the relevant arrangements are clear, and maintain a record linking the tested sample to production specifications.

  • Prepare drawings, ratings and sample identification together.
CHAPTER 04Organize quality control evidenceThe licensing process includes assessment of production quality controls under the applicable arrangements. Review incoming…

The licensing process includes assessment of production quality controls under the applicable arrangements. Review incoming materials, critical process checks and final inspection records before assessment. Corrective actions should show how the factory will consistently maintain the characteristics required by the Thai product standard.

  • Use representative production records to demonstrate actual practice.
CHAPTER 05Complete the licensing reviewPrepare the relevant application, technical reports and factory evidence through the current TISI process. Keep a tracker of…

Prepare the relevant application, technical reports and factory evidence through the current TISI process. Keep a tracker of submissions and requests for clarification. A completed test report should not be treated as an issued licence; verify the formal outcome and exact scope before planning commercial import or manufacture.

  • Reconcile all model, size and grade descriptions before approval.
CHAPTER 06Control marks and continuing supplyReview the applicable compulsory or voluntary mark and any associated identification requirements. Ensure that claims match the…

Review the applicable compulsory or voluntary mark and any associated identification requirements. Ensure that claims match the licensed product and factory. Coordinate separate NBTC obligations for wireless functions where necessary, and assess material, component or factory changes before continuing to supply under the existing licence.

  • Keep the latest licence and approved artwork available to import teams.

Requirements vary by product, intended use and market. Confirm the applicable standards and current regulatory route before proceeding.

05 / A LITTLE MORE CLARITY

Your questions.
Our starting points.

Practical answers to common questions about TISI Certification.

01Is every TIS standard compulsory?

No. Check whether the relevant product is subject to a compulsory standard or a voluntary route.

02Does a foreign safety certificate replace TISI licensing?

No automatic replacement should be assumed. Review the evidence and recognition conditions under the applicable Thai process.

03Can imported samples follow the normal commercial route?

Sample handling can have specific arrangements; confirm them before shipment with the relevant process participants.

04Does TISI certification include wireless approval?

Not automatically. NBTC requirements may apply separately to radio and telecommunications functions.
