SIRIM

SIRIM is the only certification body in Malaysia that issues type approval for telecommunications and radio equipment. Without such approval, products may not be sold, distributed, or imported into Malaysia. While certification can sometimes be issued based on a foreign standard test report, certain products require in-country testing.

SIRIM QAS International, a wholly-owned subsidiary under the Ministry of Trade and Industry of the Malaysian Government, administers, manages, and issues SIRIM certification.

List of products regulated by SIRIM:

• Wireless products
• Telecommunications equipment
• Electrical products (e.g., TVs, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, rice cookers, lighting equipment, household power tools, electrical wires, etc.)

Who can be an applicant?

The applicant must be a local legal entity registered in Malaysia.

Certification Process

1. Determine if SIRIM certification is required
2. Obtain IECCB testing and certification (if no IECCB certificate is available)
3. Register (including review of energy efficiency reports for energy-efficient products)
4. Submit IECCB certificate and factory quality documents
5. Factory audit after document review
6. Certificate issued upon approval

Certificate validity period:

SIRIM certification is valid for one year from the date of approval and can be renewed annually subject to terms and conditions.
