Radio Frequency Testing

Malaysia implements a mandatory certification system for information technology (IT) and audio-visual (AV) products, primarily covering two categories: safety certification (ST/SIRIM certification) and telecommunications equipment certification (MCMC certification). Certification pathways vary based on product functionality:

    ITAV devices with power plugs (e.g., monitors, speakers, set-top boxes): Must obtain SIRIM certification (Safety + EMC testing) and affix the ST safety mark.
ITAV devices with wireless functionality (e.g., Bluetooth headsets, Wi-Fi projectors): Require additional MCMC Type Approval, submitted through a local representative.
    Chargers/power adapters: Mandatory compliance with MS IEC 62368 safety standards, requiring factory inspection.

Four-Step Certification Process

Classification and Labeling:
Distinguish product attributes (e.g., plugged-in speakers fall under Class A, requiring SIRIM ST certification; Bluetooth speakers additionally require MCMC).
    Laboratory Testing:
        Safety Testing: MS IEC 62368 (entire unit) + MS 589 (plug)
        EMC Testing: CISPR 32 Radiated/Immunity
        Wireless Testing (if applicable): RF (ETSI EN 300 328) + SAR (EN 62209)
    Document Review & Factory Audit:
        SIRIM conducts factory audits for power supply products (ISO 13485 certification may partially substitute).
    Certification & Marking:
        SIRIM ST certificate valid for 3 years; MCMC certificate valid indefinitely (model changes require notification).

GTG Testing Group: Malaysia Certification Solutions

Established in 2012 in Songshan Lake, Dongguan, GTG Testing Group operates a 30,000㎡ laboratory with a 300-member technical team, providing comprehensive global market access services for ITAV products:

    Localized Services: Direct connection with SIRIM-authorized labs, reuse of CE/FCC reports to reduce testing cycles by 30%, and provision of local compliance representatives.
    End-to-End Management: 24/7 support covering pre-testing, factory audits, documentation compilation, and marking usage guidance.

    Case Study: For a projector manufacturer exporting Wi-Fi-enabled products with power adapters to Malaysia, GTG concurrently achieved:
    ① SIRIM ST Safety Certification (with adapter factory audit exemption)
    ② MCMC Wireless Approval (reusing FCC ID report)
Total cycle time reduced from 12 weeks to 7 weeks, with 40% cost savings.

Self-Handling vs. Professional Agencies: Pitfall Avoidance Guide

Common reasons for certification failure include:

Omission of plug certification: Malaysia mandates plugs comply with MS 589. Non-standard plugs require replacement or separate certification.
Labeling Errors: ST mark height must ≥5mm and include SIRIM registration number (e.g., MS12345678).
Missing Local Representative: MCMC applications require an original Letter of Authorization from the company submitted in person at Kuala Lumpur.

Value of Choosing GTG:

Regulatory Blind Spot Avoidance: Real-time tracking of MCMC spectrum updates (e.g., new 5.8GHz Wi-Fi limits)
Cost Optimization: Shared test data prevents duplicate charges; transparent certification fees with no hidden costs
Emergency Channel: Supports expedited SIRIM ST certification
