Public notice of the proposed project standard: Safety requirements for secondary lithium cells and batteries for use in electrical energy storage systems,
SIRIM,

▍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.

On October 14, 2021, National Public Service Platform for Standards Information released public information of a proposed project, Safety requirements for secondary lithium cells and batteries for use in electrical energy storage systems.
The purpose of this standard is to reduce the safety accidents of fire and explosion when lithium batteries are used in the field of electrical energy storage, meanwhile to improve the product quality of lithium batteries for electrical energy storage.Applicable scope of the standard specifies the safety requirements and tests for secondary lithium cells and batteries for use in electrical energy storage systems with a maximum DC voltage of 1500 V (nominal). The following are some examples of the use of secondary lithium cells and batteries equipment within the scope of this document:
Telecommunications-central emergency lighting and alarm system
Start of stationary engine
Photovoltaic system
Household (residential) energy storage system (HESS)
Large-capacity energy storage: on-grid/off-grid
This standard applies to uninterruptible power supply (UPS) batteries and battery packs, but
it does not apply to portable systems smaller than 500Wh to which IEC 61960 applies.
