Certification IntroductionWith the development of trade, buyers and consumers have increasingly higher requirements for product safety and quality. The Malaysian government stipulates that if products are regularly shipped to Malaysia, suppliers need to apply for product certification. In 1998, Malaysia promulgated a new Communications and Multimedia Act (Communications and Multimedia Act 1998), which made detailed regulations on the access conditions of Malaysia's telecommunications services and communications markets. At the same time, a new telecommunications regulatory body, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (CMC), was born.According to the "Communications and Multimedia Law", to put communication equipment on the market, it is necessary to apply to CMC or a certification body designated by CMC, carry out type certification, and obtain equipment certification and certification marks. The Communication Equipment Testing Section (CETS) under the jurisdiction of SIRIM is responsible for the specific certification of communication equipment type certification.SIRIM is the only certification management organization in Malaysia. All electronic products entering Malaysia need to apply for SIRIM certification. In principle, the applicant should be a local institution in Malaysia. The application and management of SIRIM certification is specifically responsible for SIRIM QAS International, which issues SIRIM certificates. Malaysia SIRIM certification basic information Compulsory certification sample test requires local testing (only functional verification) The certificate is valid for 5 years and the processing lead time is 3-5 weeks Applicable product scopeCommunication equipment and "Electrical Equipment Approval Regulations" stipulate that the following 31 types of products are subject to mandatory type certification and safety certification respectively: plugs (below 15A), switches and dimmers, sockets (below 15A), fluorescent lamps and starter racks, Ceiling lamp wiring boxes, bayonet lamp sockets and multi-head adapters, fluorescent lamps (excluding separately imported lamps), capacitors for fluorescent lamps, fluorescent lamp ballasts, leakage protectors, electric water heaters (including separately imported heaters), hair dryers, Desk lamps, liquid heating appliances, electric irons, electric shavers, video mixers for kitchens, immersion heaters, hi-fi units, mosquito repellents, bread ovens, electric fans, televisions, vacuum cleaners, players, washing machines, refrigerators , rice cooker, Christmas lights, household power tools, wire and cable.Other products belong to the category of voluntary certification SIRIM certified product scope (general electrical products) communication equipment and "Electrical Equipment Approval Regulations" stipulate that the following 31 types of products must be subject to mandatory type certification and safety certification respectively: plugs (below 15 A), switches and dimmers, sockets (below 15 A), fluorescent lamp sockets and starter racks, ceiling lamp wiring boxes, bayonet lamp sockets and multi-head adapters, fluorescent lamps (except for lamps imported separately), capacitors for fluorescent lamps, fluorescent lamp ballasts, leakage protectors, electric water heaters (including separately imported heaters), hair dryers, desk lamps, liquid heating appliances, electric irons, electric shavers, kitchen food mixers, immersion heaters, hi-fi units, mosquito repellents, bread ovens, electric fans, TVs, vacuum cleaners, players, washing machines, refrigerators, rice cookers, Christmas lights, household electric tools, wires and cables (cross-sectional area 0.5~35 ㎡).

Certification IntroductionThe UAE's product quality regulatory authority is ESMA (UAE Standards and Metrology Authority). ESMA has developed a set of "UAE Product Certification Scheme" to ensure that products meet international standards and have independent assurance of quality and safety. According to the announcement issued by ESMA in the United Arab Emirates, products (including electrical and electronic products) within the scope of ECAS registration and certification should be marked with the ECAS logo and NB number.Certification meaningnessThe ECAS certification scheme guarantees compliance with approved standards for products entering the UAE, not only in terms of product quality but also in terms of safety. All products related to public life, health and safety, and products that affect the environment and the UAE economy are included in the scheme. In addition, ECAS will include locally produced products in the program to ensure the quality of these products and make them competitive in the global market.Applicable product scopeThe scope of the ECAS program includes electrical, electronic and gas appliances, machinery, automotive, building and construction, cosmetics and food and other industries, such as: electrical/electronic products including Energy Efficiency Standard Labeling (EESL), Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), Potential Electrical equipment in explosive atmospheres (ECASEx), lighting products and low voltage equipment (LVE).ECAS certification not only includes safety, but also covers possible aspects such as safety testing, performance testing, functional inspection, and hazardous substance testing of electronic appliances (but does not include wireless testing, which is controlled by TRA certification). Generally speaking, ordinary electrical products only have safety testing requirements, but air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, and lamps are also subject to EESL energy efficiency control and require energy efficiency testing. Lamps are special and have four test requirements. Therefore, if the controlled lamps and lanterns are exported to the UAE, they must complete the reports of the four test standards and submit them together, apply for the COC certificate covering the four standards, complete the EESL registration, and affix the energy efficiency label before they can successfully clear customs and enter the UAE market.From May 1, 2019, all ITE information products and AV audio and video products entering the UAE must apply for mandatory ECAS certification.Application information1. Valid UAE industry/trade business license (local company name, address, contact information) 2. CB test report (if applicable, the product must also meet tropical climate conditions) 3. PID – Product Identity Declaration Product Conformity Declaration ( Only required for multiple application models) 4. Appearance photos including product labels and country of origin 5. User manuals in Arabic and English 6. For home appliances (such as air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, etc.) Energy Efficiency Performance Report Application EESL 7. For electronic products, the plug part must comply with ESMA requirements such as BS 1363 or BS 546. Precautions· ESMA and port customs authorities will take appropriate action on shipments that do not have an ECAS registration certificate. · Only goods with a valid ECAS registration certificate and a valid ECAS compliance mark can enter the UAE. · ESMA reserves the right to conduct spot checks on the market. ESMA will regularly conduct sample tests in retail stores or manufacturers' warehouses, and the test results will serve as the basis for the renewal or cancellation of the product registration certificate. · ESMA also reserves the right to conduct factory inspections at any time to ensure that products are fully compliant. · The ECAS registration certificate is valid for one year. Registration is required to be renewed one month before the certificate of registration expires.
