▍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.

Lithium battery safety is urgent! Xingheng takes the lead in compiling a white paper on the safe use of lithium batteries for electric vehicles;Facing the “cell shortage”, new energy car companies actively respond to “growth worries”;CATL’s sodium ion battery will be released soon;Xunwoda will supply lithium iron phosphate power battery cells for Shanghai Wuling;Harvard scientists developed a “sandwich battery” that only takes 10 minutes to charge;The United Kingdom develops new electrolytes to promote the development of lithium-air batteries.
The comic version of the “White Paper on the Safe Use of Lithium-ion Batteries for Electric Bicycles” was published in May 2021, authoritatively released by the China Bicycle Association, with Xingheng as one of the leading preparation companies. This comic version is a further refinement of the 2020 text version of the white paper.
On May 21, 2021, the chairman of CATL, Zeng Yuqun, revealed at the company’s shareholders meeting that sodium battery will be released around July this year. Prior to this, Zhongke Haina, Xingkong Nadian and foreign company FARADION were all planning the industrialization of sodium-ion batteries.
3、From the perspective of industry insiders, in the face of the development wave of new energy vehicles, the “supply of chips and cells” is only a “pain”, and this will also promote the accelerated development of the new energy vehicle industry. As the demand for downstream new energy vehicles continues to expand, the power battery industry is gradually experiencing insufficient supply, and the status of the industry with insufficient high-quality production capacity and low-end overcapacity has become more and more obvious. However, with the concentrated release of new production capacity of head power battery companies and the accelerated opening of the supply chain, the “celll shortage” is expected to be
alleviated.
