Malaysia SIRIM Certification

Certification Introduction:

With the development of trade, buyers and consumers have increasingly higher requirements for product safety and quality. The Malaysian government stipulates that if products are regularly shipped to Malaysia, suppliers need to apply for product certification. In 1998, Malaysia promulgated a new Communications and Multimedia Act (Communications and Multimedia Act 1998), which regulates the market access conditions for telecommunications services and communications in Malaysia. At the same time, a new telecommunications regulatory body, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (CMC), was born. According to the "Communications and Multimedia Law", to put communication equipment on the market, it is necessary to apply to CMC or a certification body designated by CMC, carry out type certification, and obtain equipment certification and certification marks. The Communication Equipment Testing Section (CETS) under the jurisdiction of SIRIM is responsible for the specific certification matters for the type certification of communication equipment.

SIRIM is the only certification management organization in Malaysia. All electronic products entering Malaysia need to apply for SIRIM certification. In principle, the applicant should be a local institution in Malaysia. The application and management of SIRIM certification is specifically responsible for SIRIM QAS International, which issues the SIRIM certificate.
