The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs of Malaysia (“KPDNHEP”) said that the order will take effect on August 3, 2022, and aims to ensure the safety of the use of vaping products. Vape manufacturers and importers can apply for certification and marking from SIRIM QAS International.

The Department of Trade and Consumer Affairs stated: “The SIRIM certification mark should be placed on the vaping device, its spare parts or other device containers so that the user can easily see it. The SIRIM certification mark indicates that the device meets safety standards and can be used normally.” The Federal Register mentioned “Electronic atomizing equipment” and “spare parts”, but no mention of vaping bombs.

The Ministry of Trade and Consumer Affairs said companies that fail to obtain the SIRIM Certificate and Marking Act will be fined up to RM200,000. For repeat offenders, the fine can be as high as RM500,000. If convicted, individuals can also be fined up to RM100,000, jailed for up to three years, or both. Repeat offenders will be fined up to RM250,000, jailed for five years or less, or both.

The Ministry of Trade and Consumer Affairs hopes to ban low-quality vaping products from circulating in the Malaysian market through such measures.
