Project Description

The project will involve establishment of an international standard laboratory to ensure the quality of inspection of electrical activities and testing of electrical appliances. It aims to prioritize safety of the public from electrical hazard.

The Electrical Inspection (EI) Department under Directorate of Industrial Supervision and Inspection (DISI) will manage the proposed laboratory for testing and certification of electrical and electronic equipment products to be compliant with international and Association of Southeast Asia Nations (ASEAN) harmonized standards. EI Department will also issue conformity certificate and affix registration mark on certified Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) products.

EI Department is responsible for testing the quality of electrical and electronic equipment and issuing conformity certificate in accordance with the Electricity Law (2014).

Project Expected Benefits

The proposed laboratory is expected to reduce poor quality and non-conforming EEE products in the market, minimize electrical hazards caused by EEE products and enable the public to use high quality and standard EEE products. It will also support locally manufactured EEE products for market competition once the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) is implemented.
