由於新冠肺炎導致TISI審核員無法出國進行工廠檢查並影響TISI認證流程，因此TISI官員 (照明，電池，插頭，延長線組， 行動電源產品組) 在一定條件下接受指定檢查機構的工廠評估文件。

Due to Covid-19 pandemic which cause TISI auditor unable to travel oversea for factory inspection and impact on TISI certification process, TISI officer (lighting, battery, plug, extension cord set, power bank product group) accept factory document evaluation done by assigned Inspection Body with some conditions.

Validity of factory inspection report (document evaluation):

-The report can be used to obtain permanent TIS certificate.

-The report can be reused for new model application but the report will be invalid once TISI allows auditor to travel for factory inspection. After TISI can resume factory inspection, this report cannot be used for new application anymore.

If customer wants to make new application, they need to arrange factory inspection.

-The report cannot be used for TISI factory registration.

-Client will not get a copy of factory evaluation report as this is special report which will be kept by TISI officer.

Factory evaluation report will start only after sample test result is passed (to avoid if Covid-19 is over the factory evaluation report will be invalid).
