Mandates for Two Food Contact Articles Standards in Thailand

GENEVA - Sept. 3, 2025 - PRLog -- SGS, the world's leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published SafeGuardS 123.25, reporting on two mandates for two standards for food contact plastic bags in Thailand.

The country consulted over the use of TIS 1207-25XX (20XX) 'Plastic bags for food' and TIS 3022-25XX (20XX) 'Microwavable food plastic bag for reheating' as mandatory national standards for these food contact materials (FCM) and articles in mid-2024.

In November 2024, Thailand's Ministry of Industry issued two announcements mandating two standards for two categories of food contact plastic bags. These were as follows:
- Announcement on the Establishment of Industrial Product Standards for Food Packaging, 2024 – which mandates TIS 1027-2567 (2024)
- Announcement on the Establishment of Industrial Product Standards for Plastic Bags for Food Packaging for Heating in Microwave, 2024 – which mandates TIS 3022-2567 (2024)

SGS experts publish SafeGuardS to keep stakeholders informed about regulatory changes that could impact their business. SafeGuardS 123.25 includes further information on the scope of the two mandates as well as highlights and links to the official announcements.

Stakeholders are encouraged to refer to the original SafeGuardS 123.25 for more details.
