Thailand Market Access for Energy Efficiency Approval

Thailand passed its Demand Side Management (DSM) Project and its Energy Conservation Promotion Act in 1990s by promoting energy and environment conservation through several measures and guidelines in order to save energy and make consumption more efficient.

Organisations involved in energy conservation include:

The Ministry of Energy (MOEN)

Electricity Generating Authority Thailand (EGAT)

Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency (DEDE)

Energy Policy and Planning Office (NEPO)

Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI)

Electrical and Electronics Institute (EEI)

Thailand Environment Institute (TEI)

The implementing organisation for the Thai Energy Performance Standards Program (TIS Standards) is the DEDE. It is regulated by the TISI under the Ministry of Industry.

The program was first implemented in 2006 for two product types – refrigerators/ freezers and CFLs. Now it has expanded to cover more product types. Recently, mandatory Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) were implemented for certain products.

The Energy Label № 5 Project is operated by The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT). This project is incorporated into the DSM Program. The EGAT requires an applicant to show the TISI license for each product before receiving the Energy Label № 5 from EGAT. This ensures that the product complies with TISI mandatory standards to be able to sell the products in Thailand.

The Energy Label № 5 Project covers following products:

• Refrigerators

• Air conditioning equipment

• Compact Fluorescent Lamps

• Ballasts

• Electric Water Heaters

• LED lamps

• Televisions and Computer Monitors

• Hot and Cold Water Dispensers and Cold Water Dispensers

• Automatic Electric Pumps

• Electric Kettles

• Microwave Ovens

• Washing machines

• etc.

From January 1, 2019, the new Energy label No. 5 (with stars) started to be used and sold on the electronics market in Thailand.
