1. Introduction
As the demand for Low Voltage Electrical Installations and Maintenance continue to
grow in Malaysia, there will be a need for highly skilled and competent workforce. The
development of highly skilled and competent workers in the industry is vital to ensure
that the need of the sectors that the electrical services industry supports is met. Future
workforce must be trained and equipped with the necessary industry specific skills that
can be achieved through competency training programmes. Hence, the reviewed of
NOSS for Low Voltage Electrical Installations and Maintenance is very timely and even
indispensable as the standard will provides a basis for formal and systematic training as
well as for certifying experienced personnel.
During a local conference that was held back in 2014 in Istana Hotel, Kuala Lumpur, the
invited speaker from the Energy Commission of Malaysia (EC) has shared an important
information to the participants about the statistics on competency as at December 2013.
The statistic showed the estimated number of competent persons required based on
number and type of installations are 147,270 persons and the number of competency
certificate issued are 101,240 persons. This statistic has revealed a worrying scenario
whereby there are shortage of competent person in Malaysia by 46,033 persons. Today,
it has been 5 years after the statistic is revealed and surely the requirements of competent
persons are increasing, and it is wondered if the EC has been able to meet its target.
Most importantly based on training institution feedbacks, there is also an urgency to

review the existing NOSS in order to suit the current needs of the industry.
The Level 4 for Low Voltage Electrical Installations and Maintenance personnel are
responsible to continuous operation of electrical systems. They conducted site visit,
monitoring electrical systems condition, performed installation, maintenance, testing and
commissioning in electrical installation area. Their invaluable experience competency
and expertise are a huge advantage when an electrical system is to be established in any
premises.
1.1 Occupation Overview
The Low Voltage Electrical Installations and Maintenance industries are multi-
million industries which involving various sectors such as oil and gas, construction,
transportation, services, consultations and energy. Most of this industry has huge
potential and impacts for significant growth as Malaysia is actively moving towards
achieving Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0).
This reviewed NOSS titled Low Voltage Electrical Installations and Maintenance
specify the competencies required to perform activities such as low voltage main
switch board installation and maintenance, distribution transformer maintenance,
low voltage underground cable system installation and maintenance, low voltage
overhead system installation and maintenance, building air conditioning and
mechanical ventilation system troubleshoot, soft starter installation and
maintenance, electrical project implementation supervision, Programmable Logic
Controller (PLC) installation and DC motor system installation and maintenance.
This NOSS can be used by industries as a reference and guidelines for job
description, performance appraisal and personnel development. Training centres

2014 Electrical Chargeman AO (Low Voltage), EE-303-3-2014 Electrical
Chargeman A1 (Low Voltage), EE-304-3-2014 Electrical Chargeman A4 (Low
Voltage), EE-320-4-2012 Low Voltage Electrical Installation and Maintenance and
EE-320-5-2012 High Voltage Electrical Installation and Maintenance to be
eliminate due to its redundancy with the new reviewed NOSS.
However, candidates pursuing this certification need to comply all other Level 4
CU requirements before can be awarded with the respective certification. Besides
that, panel also has introduced core CU on PLC as to reflect current trend of IR 4.0.
1.3 Rationale of Occupational Structure and Occupational Area Structure
