Thailand  - Proposing change safety requirements for Tumble dryers (HS: 845121)

The Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) has proposed to withdraw TIS 1389-2539 (1996) Tumbler dryers: safety requirements, and replace it with TIS 1389-25xx Household and similar electrical appliances – safety: particular requirements for tumble dryers as a mandatory standard. This draft standard deals with the safety of electric tumble dryers intended for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances. It also deals with the safety of tumble dryers that use a refrigerating system, incorporating sealed motor-compressors, for drying textile material. These appliances may use flammable refrigerants.

Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms are within the scope of this standard.
