Description of content: The Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) has proposed to withdraw TIS 812-2548(2005) Motor -Compressors: Safety Requirement, and replace it with TIS 812-2558 as a mandatory standard. This standard deals with the safety of sealed (hermetic and semi-hermetic type) motor-compressors, their protection and control systems, if any, which are intended for use in equipment for household and similar purposes and which conform with the standards applicable to such equipment. It applies to motor-compressors tested separately, under the most severe conditions that may be expected to occur in normal use, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single?phase motor-compressors and 480 V for other motor-compressors.

So far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by motor?compressors used in appliances which are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, it does not in general take into account

·         the use of appliances by young children or infirm persons without supervision

·         playing with the appliances by young children

Objective and rationale, including the nature of urgent problems where applicable: Safety

Relevant documents:

·         IEC 60335-2-34: 2012 Household and Similar Electrical Appliances – Safety – Part 2-34: Particular Requirements for Motor-Compressors

·         TIS 1375-2547(2004) Household and Similar Electrical Appliances – Safety: General Requirements
