On Sep 10, 2020, TISI (Thai Industrial Standards Institute) released a gazette to require compulsory
certification products be marked with QR code. It is known so far that the enforcement date is Jan 21, 2021,
and QR code should be placed next to TISI logo on product (or on package due to size restraint) with a size
of QR code no less than 10x10mm and font size no less than 3 x1.5mm. However, the specific requirements
as well as the QR code application procedure are not officially announced. Whether the QR code
requirement is applicable to battery or cell, where to display QR code and how large the size should be are
still pending for final announcement. Recently, TISI released some relevant links, by which basic application
procedure has been acquired. (All is subject to the final official release)
Under the new requirement, consumers can not only acquire product basic information such as company
name and certificate by scanning QR code, but also rate product satisfaction. The website after scanning
QR code will appear as below:
