DEPARTMENT OF STANDARDS MALAYSIA
DEVELOPMENT OF MALAYSIAN STANDARDS
The Department of Standards Malaysia (Standards Malaysia) is the national standards
and accreditation body of Malaysia.

The main function of Standards Malaysia is to foster and promote standards, standardisation
and accreditation as a means of advancing the national economy, promoting industrial
efficiency and development, benefiting the health and safety of the public, protecting the
consumers, facilitating domestic and international trade and furthering international

y
cooperation in relation to standards and standardisation.

nl
Malaysian Standards (MS) are developed through consensus by committees which comprise
balanced representation of producers, users, consumers and others with relevant interests, as
may be appropriate to the subject at hand. To the greatest extent possible, Malaysian

O
Standards are aligned to or are adoption of international standards. Approval of a standard as
a Malaysian Standard is governed by the Standards of Malaysia Act 1996 [Act 549]. Malaysian
Standards are reviewed periodically. The use of Malaysian Standards is voluntary except in so
far as they are made mandatory by regulatory authorities by means of regulations, local by-
w
laws or any other similar ways.
