According to foreign media reports, on September 29, the Thai Cabinet formally approved the draft ministerial regulations submitted by the Ministry of Industry to incorporate crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules into the Thai Industrial Standards (TIS) mandatory control system.
According to the requirements, all crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules entering the Thai market must pass TIS certification control, and photovoltaic products without TISI certification will not be legally imported, cleared and sold in Thailand. It is reported that the purpose of this action is to avoid safety accidents such as electric shock, leakage, overheating and fire. In terms of
regulation, the new regulations make it clear that manufacturers or importers of solar modules need to apply for licenses in accordance with the country's Industrial Product Standards Act; Distributors can only sell licensed products that meet Thai Industrial Standards (TIS) to prevent the production or import of substandard solar modules.
At present, the regulation has not yet come into force , and will come into force the next day after the publication of the Royal Gazette of Thailand.
It is noteworthy that the Minister of Industry of Thailand has made it clear that the new standard will not increase the import process of photovoltaic modules, additional costs, or cause delays in customs clearance.
At the same time, the Thai Institute of Industrial Standards (TISI) said that for imported photovoltaic products that have been certified by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards, IEC test results can be submitted to the Institute for registration of Thai Industrial Standards (TIS) without additional product inspection or testing. According to
the Thai Industrial Standards Institute, the whole process takes no more than five days. The Institute also disclosed that 279 import licenses for compliant photovoltaic modules will be issued this month to ensure the stable entry of high-quality products into the market.
More than photovoltaic modules, Thailand's Ministry of Industry said. The standard audits of photovoltaic DC circuit breakers, photovoltaic inverters , cables, energy storage batteries and other photovoltaic supporting products will be completed step by step and submitted to the cabinet for consideration and landing in due course. Gradually realize the safety management and control of all kinds of photovoltaic systems.
