▍SIRIM Certification
For the security of person and property, Malaysia government establishes product certification scheme and puts surveillance on electronic appliances, information & multimedia and construction materials. Controlled products can be exported to Malaysia only after obtaining product certification certificate and labeling.
▍SIRIM QAS
SIRIM QAS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Malaysian Institute of Industry Standards, is the only designated certification unit of the Malaysian national regulatory agencies (KDPNHEP, SKMM, etc.).
The secondary battery certification is designated by KDPNHEP (Malaysian Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs) as the sole certification authority. Currently, manufacturers, importers and traders can apply for certification to SIRIM QAS and apply for the testing and certification of secondary batteries under the licensed certification mode.
▍SIRIM Certification- Secondary Battery
Secondary battery is currently subject to voluntary certification but it is going to be in the scope of mandatory certification soon. The exact mandatory date is subject to the official Malaysian announcement time. SIRIM QAS has already started accepting certification requests.
Secondary battery certification Standard : MS IEC 62133:2017 or IEC 62133:2012
▍Why MCM?
● Established a good technical exchange and information exchange channel with SIRIM QAS who assigned a specialist to handle with MCM projects and inquiries only and to share the latest precisely information of this area.
● SIRIM QAS recognizes MCM testing data so that samples can be tested in MCM instead of delivering to Malaysia.
● To provide one-stop service for Malaysian certification of batteries, adapters and mobile phones.
Recently, China Electronics Standardization Institute, along with Zhongguancun ESS Industry Technology Association, held the forum of Sodium-ion Battery Industry Chain and Standard Development. Experts from research institutes, high schools and enterprises came to present reports about the industry, including the standardization, anode material, cathode material, separator, BMS and battery products. The conference shows the process of standardization of sodium battery and the results of research and industrialization.
The UN TDG created an identification number and name for sodium battery transportation. And chapter UN 38.3 also includes sodium based batteries.The DGP of International Civil Aviation Organization also issued latest Technology Instruction, in which it adds the requirement of sodium-ion batteries. This indicates that sodium batteries will be listed as dangerous goods for aviation transportation in 2025 or 2026. UL 1973:2022 already includes sodium-ion batteries. They are under the same testing requirement of ANNEX E. Since July 2022 Terms of Sodium-ion Batteries and Sodium Batteries—Symbol and Name has been issued, along with discussion meeting for relevant standards.
