New e-cigarette regulations introduced in Malaysia
Recently, the Malaysian government issued a regulation regarding electronic cigarette products that mandates local manufacturers and importers of such devices to obtain certification. Certified electronic cigarette devices require a visible "MS SIRIM" mark to assure consumers that they meet safety standards and can be used safely.
The Malaysian Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs has announced that a new law targeting electronic cigarette manufacturers will come into effect on 3rd August this year. The law imposes a maximum fine of RM200,000 (approximately RMB 300,000) for non-compliant e-cigarette manufacturers, with repeat offenders facing fines of up to RM500,000. The Ministry hopes that this law will prevent the domestic production and sale of substandard e-cigarette products by both local and imported manufacturers.
