Time：

2024-12-23

TISI Thailand has proposed a draft safety standard for instant electric water heaters, which requires compliance with TIS60335 standards and covers electrical, mechanical, and thermal safety requirements to ensure electrical safety and promote market standardization and quality control.

Recently, the Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) proposed a ministerial level regulation draft that requires instant electric water heaters to comply with the Thai Industrial Standard TIS 60335 Part 2 (35) -25XX (20XX) "Household and Similar Electrical Appliances - Safety - Part 2-35: Special Requirements for Instant Electric Water Heaters". The draft stipulates that the rated voltage of single-phase electrical appliances shall not exceed 250 volts, while the rated voltage of other electrical appliances shall not exceed 480 volts.

This draft aims to ensure the safety of instant electric water heaters, suitable for household and similar use electric water heaters designed to heat water below boiling point. At the same time, it also promotes standardization and quality control in the Thai electrical appliance market, ensuring that all instant electric water heaters sold in Thailand meet certain safety standards.

Specifically, Thai Industrial Standard TIS 60335 is a series of safety standards for household and similar electrical appliances. These standards cover safety requirements for various electrical products to ensure their safe use in homes and similar environments. Specifically regarding TIS 60335 Part 2 (35) -25XX (20XX), this is a special requirement for instant electric water heaters, which is part of the TIS 60335 standard series and typically includes the following safety requirements:

1. Electrical safety: Ensure that electrical appliances do not pose a risk of electric shock to users under normal use and fault conditions. This includes electrical insulation, grounding protection, leakage current testing, etc.

2. Mechanical safety: It involves the structural strength of the product, ensuring that it will not break or fail during normal use, and preventing users from coming into contact with moving parts or sharp edges.

3. Thermal safety: Specify temperature limits for electrical appliances during operation to prevent overheating and fire risks.

4. Waterproof and Moisture Resistance: Electrical appliances that may be used in humid environments must undergo waterproof testing to ensure that they do not pose a danger due to short circuits when in contact with water.

5. Material safety: Plastic and other insulation materials used in electrical equipment need to undergo fire resistance testing to ensure that they will not quickly burn and cause a fire in the event of equipment overheating or electrical failure.

6. Identification and Instructions for Use: The equipment must have clear identification, including voltage, frequency, power, TISI certification mark, warning mark, etc., as well as detailed instructions for use to ensure that users can safely operate the equipment.

7. Testing and Certification: The product needs to be tested and evaluated in a certified laboratory to ensure compliance with TIS standards. The testing content includes electrical safety, mechanical safety, environmental adaptability, etc.
