Based on the latest 2025 regulations from the Malaysian Standards and Industrial Research Institute (SIRIM), significant updates have been introduced across multiple sectors, including communication equipment and electronic products.
| Program | Regulated Products | Authority | 2025 Key Updates | Validity |
| Communications Equipment Certification | All wireless communication devices (<3000 GHz) | MCMC | IPv6 Mandatory Certification**: As of July 10, 2025, temporary approvals for IPv6-only cellular devices without Wi-Fi are terminated. New applications and renewals require full IPv6 test reports. | 5 years |
| Electrical Safety (ST COA) | Plugs, water heaters, fans, TVs, etc. (34 categories) | Energy Commission (ST) | Products like fans must also meet MEPS requirements (e.g., floor fan air delivery efficiency ratio ≥1.8). | 1 year (renewable) |
| Lubricant Certification | Automotive engine lubricants | KPDN | Mandatory SIRIM mark on bottle caps (enforcement delayed to October 7, 2025). | Not specified |
| Electronics & Electrical Products | Various electronics | Must comply with RoHS 2.0 testing requirements. |
Key Program Details:
1.IPv6 Certification Overhaul: The grace period for IPv6-only devices has ended. Products must now pass full-stack protocol validation, including RFC 8200 core standards, Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) stability, and dual-stack transition mechanisms.
2.Energy Efficiency for Electrical Safety: Fans, for example, must comply with safety standards like MS IEC 60335-2-80 and meet MEPS requirements (e.g., ceiling fan air delivery efficiency ratio ≥3.5).
3.Lubricants & Electronics Focus:
·Lubricant labeling aims to combat counterfeits.
·Electronics must adhere to RoHS 2.0 hazardous substance limits, requiring stricter supply chain controls.
General SIRIM Certification Process & Requirements:
1.Identify Product Category & Standards: Determine the applicable Malaysian Standards (MS).
2.Prepare & Submit Documentation: Apply via the SIRIM Online e-Product Certification System. Required documents include application forms, technical files (e.g., circuit diagrams, specifications), and test reports.
3.Sample Testing: Send samples to a SIRIM-recognized lab (typically 4–6 weeks).
4.Factory Inspection: Required for long-term certification (e.g., Scheme B or PCS).
5.Certification & Labeling: Upon approval, pay fees, receive the certificate, and purchase SIRIM labels.
Important Notes:
1.Certificate Holder: Must be a locally registered Malaysian company (importer or subsidiary). Overseas manufacturers cannot hold certificates directly.
2.Labeling: Since February 2022, the ST-SIRIM label must be affixed to the product itself, not just the packaging.
