Thailand - Draft Ministerial Regulation Prescribing Industrial Products for Switches for Household and Similar Fixed Electrical Installations: General Requirements to Conform to the Standard

​The draft Ministerial Regulation mandates switches for household and similar fixed electrical installations to conform to the Thai Industrial Standard TIS 824 Part 1-2562 (2019) Switches for Household and Similar Fixed Electrical Installations Part 1: General Requirements.

This draft Ministerial Regulation applies to manually operated functional switches for general purposes, with alternating current having a rated voltage not exceeding 440 V and a rated current not exceeding 63 A, intended for household and similar fixed electrical installations, either indoors or outdoors as follows:

1. Switches for a circuit for a tungsten filament lamp load

2. Switches for a circuit for an externally ballasted lamp load (for example LED, CFL, fluorescent lamp load)

3. Switches for a circuit for a self-ballasted lamp load (for example LEDi or CFLi)

4. Switches for a circuit for motor load with a rated current not exceeding 3 A at 250 V and 4.5 A at 120 V

5. Switches incorporating pilot light

6. Electronic switches

TIS 824 Part 1-2562 (2019) is identical to IEC 60669-1 Edition 4.0:2017 Switches for household and similar electrical installations - Part 1: General requirements.
