snoop1130 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Rules on power banks come into effect By The Nation The cabinet has approved draft ministerial regulations subjecting all portable backup batteries (power bank) to the Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) standard, said Deputy Government Spokesperson Traisulee Traisoranakul on Tuesday (February 4). All power banks, she said, must now meet the TISI standards, safe to be used by consumers and limited in the damages it may cause. “The definition of portable backup batteries means a portable energy storage device that has a rechargeable battery. There is at least 1 channel of electric charge circuit with the output voltage not more than 6 volts, including a backup battery that supports fast charging to recharge electricity and electronic equipment,” she said. She added that this draft ministerial regulation was issued in accordance with the Industrial Product Standards Act and TIS 2879-2560 standard for the safety of consumers.

Ventenio Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 great, now more worthless chemicals from worthless stickers from worthless companies producing real pollution for a worthless product. I will then have to look for the other sticker that says, "That other sticker is real and not fake, so buy buy cheap price good luck you buy now."

VocalNeal Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I initially read it as over 6v as I associate "power banks" with larger devices. The ones like my wife has are more like power "piggy banks" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just s little bit off the subject but might help travels with these power banks. I was stopped at check in BKK carrying 2 power banks ..both were well below the legal amp. For travel. But the label on one could not be read so could not prove it was the other was ok. 1 of them I could not travel with ..so if you can't read it don't take it.

OK thanks I think not to batteries inside products--------------- not at all sure what has or has not, these things are all so lightweight these days + sealed so you cannot look inside...... told the chip is halve the size of a SIM card is why so lightweight..
