A. Application Procedure Applicant is required to apply for Certificate of Approval (COA) through e-Permit http://epermit.dagangnet.com. Applicant shall refer to Dagang Net Technologies Sdn Bhd for details on online registrations at toll free 1-300-133-133. Applicant shall complete the application by providing all information correctly and attached all required documents.  Information such as Name of Electrical Equipment, Brand and Model shall be correct or else application will be rejected.  Detail steps on application procedures are available at e-Permit website on Trader Module User Guide. Technical documents required for COA to manufacture and import are as follows: •    Type Test Report including list of components; •    Instruction manual; •    Technical specification and catalogue; and •    Sample of the product, if requested. Applicant shall pay RM20.00 for the processing fee. B.    Type Test Report The Type Test Reports that are recognised by the Commission shall be produced by any of the following laboratories;- a)  SIRIM Berhad (SIRIM) or laboratories under Laboratory Accreditation Scheme of Malaysia (SAMM) by Department of Standards Malaysia (DSM); or b) Laboratories under the IECEE CB Scheme. The list of the laboratories are available from website http://www.cbscheme.org. The CB test report needs to be accompanied by CB test certificate; or c) Laboratories (in the scope of its accreditation) which are accredited by the accreditation body that have signed the Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (APLAC) MRA – http://www.aplac.org. The test report needs to be accompanied with conformation letter from Department of Standards Malaysia; d) Laboratories (in the scope of its accreditation) listed as Designated Testing Laboratory under ASEAN Sectoral Mutual Recognition Agreement for Electrical and Electronic Equipment (ASEAN EEE MRA).

2. For items (b), (c) and (d), testing should include the national deviation in Malaysia. The requirements of national deviation are as stated below:-
a) Nominal Voltages and Frequency

• Nominal Voltage
  Effective 1^st Jan 2008, nominal voltage for low voltage supply in Malaysia is 230/400V (+10%, -6%) in accordance with MS IEC 60038. The details of voltages and variations are as below:-
  
• Nominal frequency
  Nominal frequency for low voltage supply in Malaysia is allowed to fluctuate at ± 1% from 50Hz.
  
  

b) Voltages and Frequency Marking for Regulated Equipment

In line with (a) above, the electrical equipment to be used in Malaysia shall be designed to operate at the country’s nominal voltage and frequency as follows:
•    Voltage
Single-phase equipment shall be rated/marked at 230V or 240V. If the equipment is rated with multiple or a range of voltages, voltage range between 230V (+10%,-6%) shall be included.

Three-phase equipment shall be rated/marked at 400V or 415V. If the equipment is rated with multiple or a range of voltages, voltage range between 400V (+10%,-6%) shall be included.

•    Frequency
Product shall be rated/marked at 50Hz and testing shall be conducted at 50Hz (±1%). If the product is marked with 50/60Hz or 50-60Hz then testing shall be conducted either at 50Hz or 60Hz, whichever is more unfavourable.

c) Testing Voltage and Frequency on Electrical Equipment

Type Test Report for Equipment:
The testing voltage shall be conducted by Conformity Assessment Body (CAB) at voltage variations as in the table below:

•    Voltage
Single-phase equipment:
Testing shall be conducted based on 230V (+10%,-10%) or 240V (+6%,-6%) and other relevant voltages, whenever the equipment is marked with multiple or a range of voltages.

Three-phase equipment:
Testing shall be conducted based on 400V (+10%,-10%) or 415V(+6%,-6%), and other relevant voltages, whenever the equipment is marked with multiple or a range of voltages.

•    Frequency
Testing shall be conducted either at 50Hz or 60Hz, whichever is more unfavourable.

3. Test report must be either English or Malaysian language.

C. Annual Fee for New Application

An annual fee of RM200.00 for single phase and RM300.00 for three phase shall be paid upon approval of the COA.

D. Requirement for Manufacturing

Electrical equipment that has been approved for manufacturing shall enter the SIRIM’s Product Certification Scheme (PCS). The electrical equipment shall be affixed with label issued by SIRIM or embossed with SIRIM Certification Mark.

E. Requirement for Importing

Electrical equipment that has been approved for importing into Malaysia shall comply with the consignment test by SIRIM’s for every batch within the validity period of the COA. The electrical equipment shall be affixed with label issued by SIRIM.
Electrical equipment which failed the Consignment Test need to be sent to the country of origin or shall be destroyed.
Electrical equipment shall be constructed corresponding to power supply cord and power plug which comply with Malaysia requirements and standards.

The requirements and standards of Power Supply Cords and Power Plugs are as stated below:-

Appliances shall be fitted with a suitable and appropriate power supply cord and power plug.  Both are regulated equipment and must be approved by the regulatory body before it can be used on appliances.

1.    The Power Supply Cord shall be certified to :-
        •    MS 140 or MS2112-5 or BS 6500 or IEC 60227-1 & IEC 60227-5 (PVC insulated - flexible cables/cords);or
        •    MS 140 or BS 6500 or IEC 60245-1 & IEC 60245-4 (Rubber insulated - flexible cables/cords)

2.    The Power Plug to be used in Malaysia shall be as follows:
        •    13A fused plug comply with MS 589: Part 1 or BS 1363: Part 1;
        •    15A plugs comply with MS 1577; 2.5A, 250V, flat non-rewireable two-pole plug with cord for the connection of class II equipment comply with MS 1578 or BS EN 50075.
