Anwendungsbereich des Regulatory Essentials
This ESSENTIAL describes the requirements for electrical and electronic devices in explosive atmospheres for Malaysia, based on:
- general OSHA laws,
- Electricity Supply Act and Regulations,
- Petroleum (Safety Measures) Act,
- Release Letter (RL) issued by Energy Commission,
- the IECEx system,
- SIRIM QAS for products which falls - in addition to IECEx - under general electrical safety Standards.
Manufacturer, Importer, Distributor, Operator, User, B2B products
Geltende Rechtsvorschriften:
The OSHA Act is important for the workplace safety side (installation) but not for import / product certification.
It specifies the responsibilities and duties of employers and employees with regard to workplace safety and safety requirements for products and materials.
See OSHA PART IV - GENERAL DUTIES OF EMPLOYERS AND SELF-EMPLOYED PERSONS
15. General duties of employers and self-employed persons to their employees.
The Electricity Supply Act and Regulations is Administered by Suruhanjaya Tenaga (ST). This regulates general low-voltage equipment approvals and the licensing of industrial electrical installations.
For importing of Ex-Safe products it's only relevant, if the product falls under a Standard which demands SIRIM QAS Certification.
The Petroleum (Safety Measures) Act 1984 (Act 302) is relevant to ExSafe electrical equipment because it regulates safety measures for the storage, handling and transportation of petroleum, including requirements for preventing ignition and fire/explosion hazards, but it does not constitute a general product certification scheme for Ex equipment.
Nationale Anwendungsebene:

Kommentar bezüglich der Vergleichbarkeit mit der EU-Gesetzgebung:
No specific legislation comparable to the European ATEX Directive exists in Malaysia....
