6. Description of content: The Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) has proposed to 
withdraw TIS 812-2548(2005) Motor -Compresso rs: 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
