Announcements

Announcement on the Migration of the ePermit System to a New Platform Effective 28 September 2026

Please be informed that effective 28 September 2026, the existing ePermit system will be migrated to the new portal at https://newepermit.dagangnet.com.my.

All applications for the Certificate of Approval (COA) and Certificate of Energy Efficiency (COE) must be submitted through this new platform starting from that date. In line with this transition, the online application module for the Certificate of Energy Efficiency (COE) will officially take effect, fully replacing the manual application process. [Please refer to the attached file below for further details.]

Common Questions

  1. What is Energy-Using Product(EUP)?
    • Energy-Using Product means any equipment, device or appliance which uses energy or energy resources as specified by the Guidelines on Energy-Using Product. Previously, any electrical appliances required for approval under the MEPS requirement were outlined in the Guideline for the Approval of Electrical Equipment. With the enforcement of EECA, those appliances will be required to be approved under the requirement of EECA.
  2. What products are regulated as Energy-Using Products under EECA
    • All electrical appliances previously covered under MEPS in the Electricity Regulations 1994 are now classified as energy-using products under EECA. The energy-using products regulated under EECA includes:
      • Television;
      • Domestic Fan;
      • Refrigerator;
      • Lamp;
      • Air-Conditioner;
      • Washer;
      • Rice Cooker;
      • Microwave Oven;
      • Freezer
      • Electric Oven.
    • The scope of regulated products under EECA includes domestic, commercial, and industrial products, as specified in the Guideline for Energy-Using Products.
  3. What happens to the energy efficiency label under EECA?
    • There are no changes to the energy efficiency label following the enforcement of EECA.
  4. Will there be any changes to the star rating table under EECA?
    • No, there are no changes to the star rating table after EECA is enforced.
  5. Under Guideline for the Approval of Electrical Equipment 2024 there is requirement for MEPS also. Which one should we follow?
    • For detail requirement relates to technical specification of MEPS, please refer to update Guidelines of Energy-using Product. 
  6.  What is the validity period of a COE?
    • The COE is valid for 1-year from date of approval
  7. What is the relationship between the COE and the Certificate of Approval (COA)?

    • The COA (Certificate of Approval) certifies that a product or appliance complies with the safety regulations outlined in the Electricity Regulation 1994.

      The COE (Certificate of Energy Efficiency) confirms that a product or appliance meets the energy efficiency requirements specified in the Guideline of Energy Using Products, as mandated by the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act.

  8. What are the requirements and documents required to obtain COE?
    • Any energy-using product shall 
      • conform to the testing methodology specified in Guidelines of Energy-using Product.
      • calculation of energy efficiency  and energy efficiency rating as specified in the Guidelines of Energy-using Product. 
      • meet the minimum energy performance standard as specified in Guidelines of Energy-using Product.
  9. Documents to be submitted during Step 2 above:
    • Energy performance testing report as specified in Guidelines of Energy-using Product. The test report shall be produced by Laboratories as stated in Guideline for the Approval of Electrical Equipment 2024, please refer to Page 49 & 50.
    • Assessment Letter issued by SIRIM QAS
