Consumer Committee – Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI)In collaboration with e-commerce platforms to strictly control dangerous products through “Pre-listing Interception”
Four Thai government agencies, including:
Consumer Committee
Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI)
Electronic Transactions Development Agency (ETDA)
Office of the Consumer Protection Board (OCPB)
have joined forces with four major e-commerce platforms — Shopee, Lazada, LINE Shopping, and TikTok — to implement strict measures.
The objective is to strengthen supervision of non-compliant and potentially unsafe products and prevent dangerous products from being listed for sale from the very beginning.
🔴 Urgent Enforcement Focus
Three high-risk product categories are being strictly inspected:
Hair dryers
Power strips
Power banks
📌 TISI (Thai Industrial Standards) certification is mandatory.📌 Products without certification or using counterfeit certification marks → must be immediately removed from the platform.
⏱ Implementation in Two Phases
Phase 1 (within 30 days)
Platforms will use keyword-based screening systems.
All non-compliant high-risk products will be removed.
Phase 2 (within 6 months)
Establish a government–platform data interface (API).
Verify licenses and product standards before listing (Pre-listing verification).
Prevent issues at the source rather than handling them after publication.
🧩 Platform Progress
Shopee: Testing the API system, expected to launch soon.
Lazada / LINE Shopping: Agreed in principle; currently in technical discussions.
TikTok: Due to its global system architecture, implementation is more complex; however, a rapid response mechanism has been established to immediately remove products upon government notification.
⚠ Key Reason Behind the Measures
An incident occurred in which an 11-year-old girl died from electrocution after using a substandard hair dryer.
This clearly demonstrated that:👉 A “remove-after-detection” model is no longer sufficient to ensure safety.👉 Strict interception must occur before products are listed.
📜 Relevant Legal Basis
The Digital Platform Services Law (DPS Law)requires platforms to verify seller identities and ensure products comply with legal standards.
Non-compliance may result in:
Orders for corrective action
Administrative fines
Suspension or revocation of operating licenses
👥 Public Participation in Monitoring
The Consumer Committee has established monitoring networks in 58 provinces.
TISI provides inspection guidelines and technical support.
Reporting and enforcement efficiency for dangerous goods will be strengthened.
🟢 Want to operate compliantly and avoid product removal or legal risks?
Under the new regulatory policy, sellers, importers, and brand owners must prepare complete compliance documentation before listing products — especially for electrical appliances, electronic products, and regulated goods.
Incomplete documentation may result in product removal, fines, or even prohibition of sale.
