South Korea officially implemented KC 62619:2022, and mobile ESS batteries are included into control,
KC 62619:2022,

▍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.

▍Compulsory Certification Scope

The compulsory certification covers 107 categories, 10 fields, including: electrical equipment, accessories, medical equipment, construction materials, consumer goods, vehicles, PVC pipes, LPG gas containers and agricultural products. Products beyond this scope are fall within the voluntary certification scope. Battery is compulsory certification product in TISI certification.

Applied standard: TIS 2217-2548 (2005)

Applied batteries：Secondary cells and batteries(containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes – safety requirements for portable sealed secondary cells, and for batteries made from them, for use in portable applications)

License issuance authority:  Thai Industrial Standards Institute

On March 20, KATS issued an official document 2023-0027, officially releasing KC 62619:2022.Compared with KC 62619:2019, KC 62619:2022 has the following differences:The definition of terms has been modified to align with IEC 62619:2022, such as adding the definition of maximum discharge current and adding time limit for flame.The scope has been changed. It is clear that mobile ESS batteries are also within the scope. The range of application has been modified to be above 500Wh and below 300kWh.Requirement of current design for battery system is added. The battery should not exceed the maximum charge/discharge current of cell.Requirement of battery system lock is added.Requirement of EMC for battery system is added.Laser triggering of thermal runaway in thermal propagation test are added.Scope: IEC 62619:2022 is applicable to industrial batteries; while KC 62619:2022 specifies that it is applicable to ESS batteries, and defines that mobile/stationary ESS batteries, camping power supply and mobile electric vehicle charging piles fall within the scope of this standard.Sample quantity: In 6.2, IEC 62619:2022 requires the number of samples to be R (R is 1 or more); while in KC 62619:2022, three samples are required for each test item for a cell and one sample for battery system.KC 62619:2022 adds Annex E (Functional Safety Considerations for Battery Management Systems) which refers to Annex H of functional safety-related standards IEC 61508 and IEC 60730, describing the minimum system-level design requirements to ensure the integrity of safety functions within a BMS.
