rooster59 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Standards agency cracks down on firms for smuggling, selling low quality products By THE NATION The Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) recently seized a cache of products that were brought into the country illegally through the National Single Window (NSW) system as well as a stock of low-quality goods that were falsely given the TISI stamp. TISI conducted a check of 191 items that had been found through the NSW and found in late June that three importers had brought items that their import licemse did not allow. The three companies are Juthawan Molitec, GH Lighting and Estima Tyre and had illegally imported steel products, light bulbs and tyres respectively. Wanchai Panomcha, TISI secretary general, said the agency has also learned that Juthawan Molitec had imported products illegally five times between March 2019 and June 2020 and that all three importers will be prosecuted. TISI has also ordered its team to check 36 online marketplaces to see whether the products sold through them meet TISI standards or not. TISI also recently found two companies selling below-standard goods both online and in stores. It also found 32,722 light bulbs and fans worth around Bt4.1 million had been given the TISI logo without permission. TISI also found low-quality bulbs and lamps sold under the brand MV Comm valued at around Bt50,000.

Popular Post Laughing Gravy Posted July 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2020 I have to say great news. What about the low products made in Thailand or is only foreign ones that are low standard. I have to say having a trading standards style agency is great provided it is effective. I know it was a few years ago but the standard call was if you bought it as seen that was it. I would only buy things from TESCO, Big C etc who would permit the return of faulty goods. Having this agency to be fully effective would give the consumer some faith and guarantees. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTuner Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) Selling low quality products? That'd be about 99.99% then. Made in China. Trying to get quality products into Thailand.. Amazon & DHL: Quote Please be informed that this shipment has arrived in Thailand and subjected to customs formal clearance which original passport is normally required for paperless registeration as an importer. Back to Thai and Chinese <deleted> then. Edited July 4, 2020 by DrTuner 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I was looking around for a new kitchen blender. Big C had a model that looked fine but on enquiry only offered a 7 day return, after that you had to send it back to the manufacturer... China!! Downstairs in an appliance shop they had exactly the same model 100 baht cheaper with a one year guarantee, take it back to them with the receipt! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it is the few instead of the many places that does this. Edited July 5, 2020 by Laughing Gravy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairieboy Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 When will the Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) apply some standards to construction especially with regards to electrical and plumbing installations. If standards are, or have been, applied the standards are in dire need of upgrading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it is the few instead of the many places that does this. The glaring warranty labels on many appliances are misleading. I have several in-line water pumps with a prominent label indicating a 5 year warranty. when the pumps quit working, as they often do, and warranty work was requested I was informed that the warranty was only for the motor not for the pump. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
