Raising the bar for product standards in Malaysia’s Industry 

NASLEM is actively collaborating with key stakeholders, including the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) the authority overseeing the construction sector and the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) the authority regulating workplace safety and health along with other relevant agencies. This collaboration aims to strengthen material compliance and promote best practices within the scaffolding and lifting industry in Malaysia.

For example, both imported and locally manufactured products used in the Malaysian market must undergo proper testing and certification in accordance with national regulations. The CIDB serves as the main authority responsible for approving and registering these products to ensure they meet Malaysian safety and quality standards before being introduced or used in any construction project.

Stakeholders are encouraged to refer to the latest CIDB regulations, which outline the requirements for all construction related products to be tested, registered, and approved prior to use. List of approved products.

Members and industry stakeholders may refer to the “P.U. (A) 302 / 2016: Amendment of Fourth Schedule, CIDB (Standards for Certification of Construction Material)” for the official list of construction materials that must be tested, certified, and approved by CIDB before use.

NASLEM supports full compliance with these requirements and encourages all members to consult this document when selecting, approving, or certifying products.
