The Government has agreed to enforce mandatory standards on six tariff lines of aluminium sheets and foils, effective Nov 1, the International Trade and Industry Ministry said today.
Implementation of the standards is to ensure raw materials used in end-products met quality and safety requirements, it said in a statement today.
It is also to minimise import of sub-standard products and support the development and competitiveness of the local aluminium industry by producing high quality products that met international standards,it said.
"Under the new ruling, importation of aluminium sheets and foils require importers to obtain a Certificate of Approval (COA) or a letter of exemption issued by SIRIM QAS International Sdn Bhd (SIRIM) for manufactured products or Construction Industry Development Bhd (CIDB) for construction products," it said.
MITI said the COA issued by SIRIM or CIDB certify that the imported aluminium products conformed to requirements of Malaysia Standards or any other international standards recognised by SIRIM or CIDB.
