The Process as below
STEP 1
Application Submission
The first step is submitting an application with detailed product information. This includes specifications, safety features, and manufacturing processes. Supporting documents like technical drawings, descriptions, and existing certifications must also be included.
STEP 2
Document Review
TISI conducts a thorough review of the submitted documents to ensure that they meet the required standards. This step involves verifying that the product conforms to Thai safety, quality, and performance standards.
STEP 3
Sample Testing
After documentation is approved, product samples must be sent to a approved lab for testing. These tests check compliance with standards. They may include safety assessments, performance evaluations, and environmental assessments. This is to ensure the product meets regulatory requirements.
STEP 4
Factory Inspection
TISI may conduct an inspection of the manufacturing facility to ensure that the production processes comply with the required standards. This inspection verifies that the factory maintains consistent quality control and adheres to the manufacturing practices outlined in the application.
STEP 5
Certification Issuance
If the product passes all tests and the factory inspection is satisfactory, TISI issues the certification. The product is then authorized to display the TIS mark, indicating compliance with Thai industrial standards.
STEP 6
Post-Certification Monitoring
After certification, it may conduct periodic inspections and require retesting of products to ensure ongoing compliance with standards. If any changes are made to the product or manufacturing process, re-certification may be necessary.
