TISI
▍What is TISI Certification?
TISI is short for Thai Industrial Standards Institute, affiliating to Thailand Industry Department. TISI is responsible for formulating the domestic standards as well as participating in international standards formulation and supervising the products and qualified assessment procedure to ensure the standard compliance and recognition. TISI is a governmental authorized regulatory organization for compulsory certification in Thailand. It is also responsible for formation and management of standards, lab approval, personnel training and product registration. It is noted that there is no non-governmental compulsory certification body in Thailand.
There is voluntary and compulsory certification in Thailand. TISI logos (see Figures 1 and 2) are allowed to use when products meet the standards. For products that have not yet been standardized, TISI also implements product registration as a temporary means of certification.

Certification of electric vehicle batteries/storage batteries
The preparation of new site and equipment is to perform more comprehensive services. We are expanding our business and get deep into international certification with TUV RH of storage batteries and electric two-wheel vehicles batteries. Meanwhile we cooperate with EPRI in power grid storage. We will be able to test products of more elaborated design. We will also start projects of certification in transport area, and coordinate with CAAC to gain more resources of air transport.
Append 3 annex: annex G (informative) Safety marking translation; annex H (normative) Alternative approach for evaluating valve regulated or vented lead acid or nickel cadmium batteries; annex I (normative) : test program for mechanically rechargeable metal-air batteries.
At present, the competition in the certification and testing industry is fierce. As a result, some institutions will give customers some wrong information or some misleading information for the sake of performance. It is necessary for the personnel engaged in certification to have sharp tentacles to distinguish the authenticity and reduce the cumbersome and unnecessary trouble of the certification process.
