| ST COA Certification (Electrical Safety) | Plugs, water heaters, fans, TVs, etc. (34 categories) | Energy Commission (ST) | 1 Year (Renewable) | Products like fans also need MEPS; e.g., floor fan air delivery efficiency ratio must be ≥1.8. |

SIRIM Mark & Requirements:
Once certified, products must be marked with the appropriate SIRIM label.
1.Mark Types: Mainly include the SIRIM-ST (for electrical safety products) and SIRIM-MCMC (for communications equipment) mandatory marks.
2.Placement: Since February 2022, the new ST-SIRIM label must be affixed to the product itself, not just the packaging.
3.Label Content: Must include the certificate number, product model, manufacturer's name, and rated parameters.
SIRIM Certification Application Process & Key Steps:
1.Determine Product Category & Standard: Identify under which mandatory certification scheme your product falls and find the corresponding Malaysian Standard (MS Standard).
2.Prepare & Submit Technical File: Submit the application via the SIRIM Online e-Product Certification System. Required documents typically include the application form, product technical files (e.g., circuit diagrams, specifications), test reports, etc.
3.Sample Testing: Send samples to a SIRIM-appointed laboratory for testing. The cycle is typically 4-6 weeks.
4.Factory Inspection: If applying for a long-term certificate (e.g., Scheme B or PCS certificate), a factory inspection is required to assess production consistency control.
5.Certification & Mark Usage: Upon approval, pay relevant fees, receive the certificate, and apply to purchase SIRIM labels for your products.
SIRIM Certification Technical File Checklist:
1.Application form, Business Registration (for both Malaysian Importer & Overseas Manufacturer).
2.Product Technical File: Including specifications, circuit diagrams, user manual (English/Malay), label artwork, etc.
3.Test Reports: Issued by a SIRIM-recognized lab, covering safety, EMC, and RF (if applicable).
4.Declaration of Conformity: Stating product compliance with relevant standards.
5.Quality System Documents: e.g., ISO 9001 certificate (if applicable).
Important Notes:
1.Certificate Holder: The SIRIM certification and ST COA certificate holder must be an importer or locally registered company operating in Malaysia. Overseas manufacturers cannot hold these directly.
2.Choosing Certification Scheme: For Electrical Safety (ST COA), there are schemes for single import batches (Scheme A) and long-term exports (Scheme B). The latter involves factory inspection and offers a longer validity certificate.
