What SIRIM Logo means?

The Building By-Law addresses the legal requirement, TO HAVE,
while the Malaysian Standards, deals with the technical part, ie: type of extinguisher, size, performance, safety, selection, maintenance, quality assurance, etc
Malaysian Standards, are code of practice written by a committee consist of technical experts, authorities, industrialist and even representatives from the public. This document are owned by the Department of Standards Malaysia, (DSM) managed by SIRIM BHD.

The code of practice (COP) are very important documents, as they lay down criterias to be followed, for the purpose of standardization and ensure things are fit for pupose (FFP).

Our fire brigade, The BOMBA, are empowered by the minister to carry out enforcement to ensure the Building by Laws and the Code of Practices are adhered to.

BOMBA, recognized only products which are certified by Certification Bodies, such as SIRIM.

SIRIM, now being a private entity (non governmental body), is in turn monitored and regulated by the DSM.
This process is called "Accreditation".

Products certified by SIRIM, means complies to the COP, are allowed to be marked with SIRIM Logo, therefore, we say that product got SIRIM one.  I recall when i asked for a 3-pin plug, the hardware shop boss asked "you want SIRIM one, or NO SIRIM one". What he meant is whether i want a plug with SIRIM Logo (comes with a SIRIM logo sticker), or one which does not.
