Condition, under the supervision of Technical Committee on
Earthquake. Both committees are under the purview of ISC D
(Building, Construction and Civil Engineering). At the same
time, a special committee consisting of Malaysian experts
from various organisations has been formed as part of the
team in the establishment of the Malaysian earthquake
standards for Malaysia.

The time and effort taken in preparing the draft Malaysia

National Annex to MS EN 1998-1 deserves much credit. The
development of this National Annex was initiated in 2007 until
its publication in 2017. In 2009, relevant international and
foreign standards had been studied as part of the preparation Earthquake at Ranau, Sabah

and chaired by IEM, had also organised a series of events,
including symposiums and workshops from 2011 to 2013 that
caught the interest of both local and international experts. In
2016, due to the overwhelming comments received, the draft
underwent major changes to incorporate the Malaysian
interest, mainly the elements of public safety. Objectives

With the expanded committee that engaged both industries • To impart understanding on the earthquake design

Who are we?

Governed by the Standards of Malaysia Act 1996 (Act 549), the Department of Standards Malaysia
(Standards Malaysia) is an agency established on 28 August 1996 under the purview of the Ministry of
Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI). Standards Malaysia is the National Standards and
Accreditation Body of Malaysia providing confidence to various stakeholders, through credible
standardisation and accreditation services for global competitiveness. Our aspiration is to create a culture of
quality amongst Malaysians, to make standards an accepted component of businesses locally and to achieve
global recognition for our products and services; thus improving the overall quality of life. As the National
Standards Body, Standards Malaysia is entrusted to develop national standards (Malaysian Standards –
MS). Standards Malaysia has appointed six Standards Development Agencies (SDAs) to manage the
development of MS and coordinate Malaysia’s participation at international standardisation activities, i.e. ISO
and IEC. The SDAs are:

 SIRIM Berhad

 Malaysian Timber Industry Board (MTIB)

 Institut Kimia Malaysia (IKM)

 Malaysian Association of Standards Users (Standards Users)

 Malaysian Plastics Manufacturers Association (MPMA)

 Malaysian Rubber Board (Lembaga Getah Malaysia, LGM)

Where to get MS, ISO and IEC standards?

For more than 20 years, we have successfully developed more than 6,000 MS and actively participated in
ISO and IEC standards development activities. This has contributed to Malaysia’s competitive edge by
facilitating trade through international recognition of our products and services that complied with MS or
international standards. The MS can be purchased online through www.msonline.gov.my.
