◉ Certification Introduction
SIRIM certification is a mandatory or voluntary certification system implemented by Malaysia for products entering its market, managed and implemented by the Malaysian Institute of Standards and Industrial Research (SIRIM). Covering multiple fields such as electronic products, mechanical equipment, building materials, communication equipment, etc., the aim is to ensure that products comply with Malaysia's standards and safety requirements, safeguard consumer rights and public safety.
Importers, manufacturers, traders, distributors, etc. can apply to SIRIM and undergo audits and obtain recognition in accordance with the standards under the product certification system. The application and management of SIRIM certification are specifically handled by SIRIM QAS International, which issues SIRIM certificates.
◉ Certification Mark
◉ Product Range
1. Electronic and electrical products
Plug (below 15A), switch and dimmer, socket (below 15A), fluorescent lamp holder and starter frame, ceiling light cable box, bayonet lamp holder and multi head adapter, fluorescent lamp (except for separately imported lamps), fluorescent lamp capacitor, fluorescent lamp ballast, leakage protector, electric water heater (including separately imported heater), hair dryer, table lamp, liquid heating appliance, electric iron, electric shaver, kitchen food mixer, immersion heater, high fidelity device, mosquito repellent, bread stove, electric fan, TV, vacuum cleaner, player, washing machine, refrigerator, rice cooker, Christmas light, household electric tools, wires and cables (cross-sectional area 0.5-35 ㎡).
In addition to ordinary household appliances, key components such as plugs, power cords, switches, LED power supplies, etc. also need to obtain SIRIM certification.
2. Communication equipment
Wired communication equipment: used to connect to the caller line identification prompt (AClip) facilities of the PSTN, asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) transceivers, connect to the integrated services digital network (ISDN) using basic access, connect to ISDN using group rate access, low-frequency cables and wires with PVC insulation and PVC sheath, overvoltage protection devices, private automatic branch exchange (PABX) systems connected to the PSTN, terminal equipment connected to the public switched telephone network (PSTN), etc.
Wireless communication equipment: amateur radio equipment, GSM mobile terminals, terrestrial mobile radio equipment, broadband wireless access (BWA) equipment, IMT-2000 third-generation (3G) cellular mobile terminals, short-range devices (SRD), etc.
3. Building materials: steel products, steel bars, glass, ceramic tiles, cement, concrete products, etc.
4. Lubricants: Starting from 2025, all lubricant products must be certified by SIRIM before they can be sold.
5. Other fields: medical device products, automotive components (such as helmets, seat belts, car lights), chemicals and consumer goods (such as coatings, food contact materials, etc.).
◉ Application Process
1. Product evaluation: Confirm whether the product falls within the scope of mandatory certification.
2. Submit application: The enterprise submits a certification application to SIRIM, including product information, technical documents (such as specifications, test reports, factory quality system documents, etc.).
3. Product testing: Conducted in SIRIM accredited laboratories, with testing items based on corresponding MS standards or international standards.
4. Factory inspection (if applicable): Some products (especially mandatory certified products) need to undergo a factory quality system audit to ensure that the production process meets standards.
5. Certification decision: After passing the testing and audit, SIRIM issues a certification certificate, allowing the product to use the certification mark.
6. Follow up supervision: SIRIM will conduct regular supervision and inspection (such as sampling testing, factory re inspection) to ensure that the products continue to meet the standards.
◉ Important Note
1. Standard consistency: The product must comply with Malaysian National Standards (MS) or international standards recognized by SIRIM (such as IEC, ISO). If there are differences in the standards, the MS standard shall prevail.
2. Agent requirement: When overseas enterprises apply for SIRIM certification, they usually need to designate a local agent in Malaysia (such as an importer or certification consulting agency) to assist with the processing.
3. Certificate validity period: Certification certificates usually have a certain validity period, and renewal needs to be applied for before expiration. Renewal requires re examination or sampling testing.
4. Market access association: Mandatory certified products that have not obtained SIRIM certification may face risks such as customs detention and market bans. Starting from 2025, the customs will implement an AI labeling system, and any mislabeled items will be directly returned for shipment. Selling unlicensed products can result in a maximum fine of 100000 ringgit (approximately 170000 RMB) or 6 months in prison.
◉ Common Problem
(1) Is the SIRIM certificate holder a manufacturer or an importer?
SIRIM certificate holders can be manufacturers or importers. If the manufacturer does not have a branch in Malaysia, then you need to appoint a local company in Malaysia as your agent. We can provide agency services in Malaysia.
(2) How long is the validity period of SIRIM battery product certificate?
The current validity period for SIRIM battery product certificates is 1 year. The certificate can be renewed after one year.
(3) If our product already has a CB report, does it not need to be tested?
If your product has a CB report with a validity period of 5 years, you only need to provide qualification certification materials and CB test reports issued by authoritative institutions.
(4) If our factory already has ISO9001 certification, do we still need to apply for SIRIM for our products?
I need it. As long as the products produced by your factory fall within the mandatory scope of the Malaysian government, you must apply for SIRIM certification.
(5) When will the factory audit start? How long is the validity period after factory audit?
SIRIM will arrange a factory audit after we have submitted the materials and passed the review. After passing the factory audit, the validity period is 1 year. We need to conduct another factory audit after one year. The re audit of the factory is divided into two parts: one part is the factory, and the other part is the Malaysian warehouse.
(6) What is the main focus of factory audit?
Factory audits mainly include: QC, production line, engineering department, R&D department, company structure, etc., involving quality manuals, change management, trademark authorization documents, drawing consistency, and other contents.
(7) Is a label required after certification?
As long as you have passed SIRIM certification, your company's products will be required to bear SIRIM certification labels.
(8) Is SIRIM tag free?
Not free, you need to submit a purchase request to SIRIM.
(9) How are labels compliant?
Bilingual tags: Key information in Malay+English (such as ingredients, warning language)
Certification Mark Specification: SIRIM labels must be directly attached to the product body (packaging labels are invalid), with a size of not less than 8 × 8mm
Special requirements: Communication equipment must be labeled with MCMC triangle labels, and energy-efficient products must be labeled with ST COA labels
