▍Introduction
SIRIM, formerly known as the Standard and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia (SIRIM), is a corporate organization owned wholly by the Malaysian Government, under the Minister of Finance Incorporated. It has been entrusted by the Malaysian Government to be the national organization for standards and quality, and as a promoter of technological excellence in the Malaysian industry. SIRIM QAS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SIRIM Group, becomes the only window for all testing, inspection and certification in Malaysia. Currently, secondary lithium battery is certified on a voluntary basis, but soon it will be mandated under the supervision of the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP, formerly known as KPDNKK).
