Applicants must first check the list of equipment that requires a CoA by referring to the Guideline for the Approval of Electrical Equipment (GL), which can be downloaded from the Energy Commission (ST) website. Applications for CoA for import/manufacture purposes, in accordance with Regulation 97 of the Electricity Regulations 1994, can be submitted online at http://epermit.dagangnet.com

For the CoA application, a test report from an accredited laboratory must be submitted as proof of compliance with the minimum required standards.

Once the CoA has been issued, the importer may proceed with import activities. After the shipment arrives in Malaysia and is cleared by Customs, the importer is required to perform a SIRIM consignment test at https://e-cee.sirim.my. This is to obtain the ST-SIRIM label, which must be affixed to the equipment before it can be distributed or sold to consumers, in accordance with Regulation 98 of the Electricity Regulations 1994.
