MENT REGIMES
MODE OF REGULATION
Thailand Certification Product Certification System of TISI consists of two phases:
1. License Granting
Granting a license is based on:
1.1 The results of tests which are conducted on products in accordance with the application standards.
Consideration on this matter may be:
(1) Product testing by designated laboratories, or
(2) Product testing by testing laboratories being accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025, or
(3) Product testing by testing at manufacturer’s premises under supervision of TISI.
1.2 The results of manufacturer’s quality control system assessment according to specified conditions.
Consideration on this matter may be:
(1) Factory visit for quality control system assessment, or
(2) Acceptation of quality system certificates, or
(3) Acceptation of CoC from the ASEAN Listed CB.
2. Surveillance
After granting a license, the licensee will be followed up by:
2.1 Product sampling from factories for testing,
2.2 Product sampling from market for testing,
2.3 Product sampling for testing each import,
2.4 Factory visit for audit.
