MALAYSIAN STANDARD

DEVELOPMENT OF MALAYSIAN STANDARDS

The Department of Standards Malaysia (STANDARDS MALAYSIA) is the national

standards and accreditation body of Malaysia.

The main function of STANDARDS MALAYSIA is to foster and promote standards,

standardisation and accreditation as a means of advancing the national economy,

promoting industrial efficiency and development, benefiting the health and safety of

the public, protecting the consumers, facilitating domestic and international trade and

furthering international cooperation in relation to standards and standardisation.

Malaysian Standards (MS) are developed through consensus by committees which

comprise balanced representation of producers, users, consumers and others with

relevant interests, as may be appropriate to the subject at hand. To the greatest

extent possible, Malaysian Standards are aligned to or are adoption of international

standards. Approval of a standard as a Malaysian Standard is governed by the

Standards of Malaysia Act 1996 [Act 549]. Malaysian Standards are reviewed

periodically. The use of Malaysian Standards is voluntary except in so far as they are

made mandatory by regulatory authorities by means of regulations, local by-laws or

any other similar ways.

STANDARDS MALAYSIA has appointed SIRIM Berhad as the agent to develop,

distribute and sell the Malaysian Standards.
