SIRIM Product Compliance Certification: Programs & 2025 Requirements

Malaysia’s SIRIM certification is the mandatory compliance framework for multiple product categories, including communications equipment, electrical appliances, lubricants, and electronics. The 2025 updates bring significant changes that manufacturers and importers must understand to ensure smooth market access.

1️⃣ SIRIM Certification Programs Overview (2025 Updates)

2️⃣ Key Program Details & Updates

1️⃣ IPv6 Certification Overhaul

• The grace period for IPv6-only devices has ended.

• Devices must pass full-stack protocol validation, including RFC 8200 core standards, Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) stability, and dual-stack transition mechanisms.

2️⃣ Energy Efficiency & Electrical Safety

• Products like fans must meet MS IEC 60335-2-80 and MEPS efficiency ratios (e.g., ceiling fan air delivery efficiency ratio ≥3.5).

• Ensures energy savings and consumer safety compliance.

3️⃣ Lubricants & Electronics Focus

• Lubricants: SIRIM labeling combats counterfeit products.

• Electronics: Strict RoHS 2.0 limits require enhanced supply chain control to avoid hazardous substances.

3️⃣ General SIRIM Certification Process

1️⃣ Identify Product Category & Applicable Standards

• Determine the correct Malaysian Standards (MS) that apply to your product.

2️⃣ Prepare & Submit Documentation

• Apply via the SIRIM Online e-Product Certification System.

• Required documents include application forms, technical files (circuit diagrams, specifications), and test reports.

3️⃣ Sample Testing

• Send product samples to a SIRIM-recognized laboratory. Typical testing cycle: 4–6 weeks.

4️⃣ Factory Inspection

• Required for long-term certificates (e.g., Scheme B or PCS) to verify consistent production quality.

5️⃣ Certification & Labeling

• Upon approval, pay fees, receive the certificate, and purchase SIRIM labels.

4️⃣ Important Compliance Notes

1️⃣ Certificate Holder Requirements

• Certificates must be held by a Malaysian-registered company (importer or subsidiary).

• Overseas manufacturers cannot hold SIRIM certificates directly.

2️⃣ Labeling Rules

• Since February 2022, the ST-SIRIM label must be affixed directly on the product, not just on packaging.

SIRIM Certification 2025 – FAQ

1️⃣ Can overseas manufacturers directly hold a SIRIM certificate?

• Answer: No. SIRIM certificates must be held by a Malaysian-registered company (importer or subsidiary). Overseas manufacturers need to apply through a local representative.

2️⃣ What reports are required for IPv6 certification?

• Answer: The new regulation requires a full-stack IPv6 protocol test, including RFC 8200 core standards, Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) stability, and dual-stack transition mechanisms.

3️⃣ What is the validity of Electrical Safety (ST COA) certification?

• Answer: ST COA certificates are valid for 1 year and renewable, and products must comply with MEPS energy efficiency requirements (e.g., floor fan air delivery ratio ≥1.8).

4️⃣ What environmental requirements apply to electronic products?

• Answer: All electronics exported to Malaysia must comply with RoHS 2.0, strictly controlling hazardous substances and ensuring supply chain compliance.

5️⃣ Where must the SIRIM label be placed?

• Answer: Since February 2022, the ST-SIRIM label must be affixed directly on the product, not just the packaging.
