▍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?

● 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.

The latest version of Manual of Tests and Criteria (UN38.3) Rev.7 and Amend.1 has been made by the United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, and published officially. The amendments are reflected on the table below. The standard is revised every other year, and the adoption of new version depends on the requirement of each country.
The revision in this Amendment is not related to any test. Only Clause 38.3.5 (j) will have few influences, as the responsible person’s name and title will be required.
The Quick Charge nowadays has become a new function even a selling point of a mobile phone. However, the Quick charge method adopted by the manufacturers is using a charging cutoff current which is higher than 0.05ItA, which is required by the standard IEC 62133-2. In order to pass the tests, manufacturers have brought up this question for a
decision.
