Part 1
Representing a client and QHSEL Consultancy Sdn. Bhd.. Paid a courtesy visit to SIRIM QAS International Sdn. Bhd., specifically to the Electrical and Electronics Certification, Product Certification and Inspection Department, where I met Mr. Zahari bin Abdul Gani, Auditor (E & E Certification, PCI). As expected, all SIRIM QAS staff I encountered were professional, courteous, and highly informative. Mr. Zahari provided an excellent briefing on the requirements for E & E product certification. It felt great to be back at SIRIM after years of handling various ISO certifications for clients and attending SIRIM STS trainings and even better to meet the new generation of auditors (where I am now sort of a veteran retired assessor)

E & E Product Certification : A Complex but Essential Process

Securing Electrical & Electronic (E&E) product certification typically in Malaysia - from SIRIM QAS International is far from straightforward, it’s a detailed compliance journey, unlike certifications of ISOs QHSE/IMS.
Importers must work with licensed agents holding valid MITI import licences, manage shipping and logistics, and register across multiple official platforms including the SIRIM QAS eCertification Portal, DagangNet/ePermit, Royal Malaysian Customs (JKDM), MCMC eComM, SSM e-Info, and the Strategic Trade Secretariat (STS) for dual-use goods.
Each application demands precise documentation such as the Letter of Authorisation (LOA), technical drawings, product datasheets, and CB Reports (verified if tested outside Malaysia), along with factory audits all critical to ensuring product safety and compliance.
Under the Strategic Trade Act (STA) (see photo), additional traceability and reporting requirements apply for certain controlled technologies, often extending the approval timeline.
From sample testing to import clearance, every stage calls for meticulous coordination and regulatory awareness - one missing document or unregistered portal can halt progress.
E&E certification isn’t just a formality - it’s an ecosystem of compliance that safeguards product integrity, consumer safety, and national regulatory trust.
