The Malaysian Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumerism (KPDN) has reminded all e-cigarette or vaporizer retailers to ensure that their products carry the certification logo of the Malaysian Standards and Industrial Research Institute (Sirim), according to The Star on 24 October.
The Minister, Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali, announced at a press conference on 24 October that the KPDN will work with Sirim to ensure that e-cigarette devices are manufactured in accordance with the standards of MS Sirim Certification by Sirim QAS International Sdn Bhd.
We have received reports and concerns from certain sectors. I would like to say on behalf of the department that our jurisdiction relates to the 2011 Consumer Goods Act.
In 2022, a specific directive pertaining to the supply and labeling of e-cigarette devices has been issued. In order to enforce this directive, we will be partnering with Sirim QAS International Sdn Bhd.
Starting from August 3, 2022, manufacturers and importers of e-cigarette devices must apply for the MS Sirim certification mark from Sirim QAS International Sdn. Bhd. The MS Sirim certification mark must be placed on the e-cigarette device or its casing, and must be easily visible to users.
