Malaysia : New certification for motor vehicle lubricating oil
Malaysia has published two new regulations:
- TRADE DESCRIPTIONS (CERTIFICATION AND MARKING OF ENGINE OIL FOR MOTOR VEHICLE) ORDER 2024(3 pages, in English)
- GUIDELINES FOR CERTIFICATION AND MARKING OF ENGINE OIL FOR MOTOR VEHICLES (54 pages, in English)
All engine oils for motor vehicles shall go through the certification process established by the competent authority appointed the Minister of Domestic Trade and Living Costs (KPDN) and, shall have the specified marking prior to entering the Malaysian market.
The aim of the regulation is the determination of genuine products from the manufacturer to circumvent fake products and to ensure that products fulfil quality requirements.
