As a core market in Southeast Asia, Malaysia enforces strict market access regulations for street lighting products.To help manufacturers quickly master the key points of SIRIM certification, GTG Group summarizes the following essential guidance based on practical experience.

01 Core Certification Basics

1. Mandatory Certification Scope

• Indoor / outdoor lighting, LED luminaires, emergency lights, table lamps, Christmas lights, fluorescent lamps, ballasts, etc.
• AC/DC products with voltage range 50V – 1000V
• Bluetooth / WiFi-controlled lighting products must also apply for MCMC communications equipment certification

2. Certification Types & Validity

• PCS License (Product Certification Scheme)Validity: 1 yearRequires factory auditAllows self-affixing of the SIRIM label

• ST COA Certificate (Batch Certification)Valid for one single shipment onlyNo factory inspection requiredThird-party inspection before shipment

3. Key Technical Requirements

• Electrical safety (protection against electric shock, overheating, fire risk)
• Photobiological safety (blue light hazard level: RG0 / RG1)
• Energy efficiency rating (MS 2572:2015 standard for LED luminaires)

02 Documents Required for SIRIM Certification for Street Lamps

1. Application form
2. Model series list
3. Critical Components List (CDF)
4. English installation and user manual
5. LED module / chip datasheet
6. Nameplate file
7. Test report complying with MS standards (GTG can assist with testing)

03 Certification Implementation Process

Step 1: Pre-Certification Compliance Check

• Voltage compatibility: Malaysia uses 240V / 50Hz
• Plug type: BS 1363 (UK standard) or MS 589 certified plug
• Packaging with recycling symbol (triangular arrow logo)

Step 2: Laboratory Test Planning
