The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) provides updated requirements for certified radiofrequency identification devices (RFID).

• Product specifications, user manuals, and product literature/brochures contained in the certification application must indicate the Malaysian frequency range(s).
• All documentation distributed to the end-user, consumer, and/or buyer must be submitted for certification and should show the frequency range.

Certifications will be canceled or suspended, and products will be recalled if products are not in compliance with these requirements.

Penalties will be administered for the following offenses:

• Emission from non-standard or non-certified equipment
• Illegal distribution, sale, or usee of non-standard or non-certified equipment
• Distribution or sale of radio equipment that are no longer in compliance with the most recent standards
