Malaysia has established clear certification requirements for the import and sale of sanitary products (such as toilets and flush valves), primarily focusing on safety, water efficiency, and quality management systems. Below are the key certifications and standards:
1. Mandatory Certification (SIRIM Certification)
Scope of Application:
- Sanitary products including toilets and flush valves must obtain SIRIM QAS (Standards and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia) certification to ensure compliance with Malaysian national standards (MS standards).
Core Standards:
- MS 795-2:2019 (as shown in the example certificate): Specifies performance and safety requirements for toilet cistern inlet valves.
- MS 1222 (General Standard for Sanitary Ceramics): Covers material quality, durability, and flushing efficiency of toilets.
Certification Process:
- Submit products to a SIRIM-accredited laboratory for testing.
- Factory audit (required for certain products).
- Obtain the SIRIM certification mark (must be displayed on products or packaging).
2. Water Efficiency Certification (Water Efficiency Labeling Scheme, WELS)
Requirements:
- Toilets must display water efficiency ratings (1-5 stars, with 5 stars indicating the highest efficiency).
- Single-flush toilets must not exceed 6 liters per flush, while dual-flush toilets must not exceed 6 liters for full flush and 3.5 liters for reduced flush.
Testing Standard:
- MS 1923 (Performance Standard for Water-Efficient Toilets).
3. Other Common Certifications
- ISO 9001 (Quality Management System): Demonstrates that the production process complies with international standards.
- ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System): As held by the example company (Jiangxi Allwell), this certification is applicable for export or high-end markets.
- ANQAS Certification (as shown in the example): A local Malaysian certification for certain sanitary components (e.g., inlet valves), requiring compliance with MS standards.
