As announced by the World Trade Organization (WTO) on March 13, 2025, the revised draft ministerial regulation details 13 applicable categories of stainless steel containers and utensils. If approved, it will come into force 270 days after publication in the Government Gazette.

The technical requirements of TIS are promulgated through the Thai Industrial Standards Institute, the governmental body responsible for establishing and promoting quality, safety and efficiency standards across various sectors in the country.

SGS experts publish SafeGuardS to keep stakeholders informed about regulatory changes that could impact their business. SafeGuardS 047.25 includes information about the 13 categories of stainless steel containers and utensils defined in the draft regulation and a helpful table with specific release limit requirements for seven metals as specified in TIS 3206-2567 (2024).

Stakeholders are encouraged to refer to the original SafeGuardS 047.25 for more details.
