The document announces that the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has approved and published a new technical certification code called "Land Mobile Radio Equipment – ​​Specifications (Second Revision).

As of this publication, all land mobile radio (LMR) equipment undergoing certification in Malaysia must comply with the requirements of this code.

The code will be implemented with a transition period until December 26, 2025. During this phase, certification applications that comply with the previous version will be eligible for a Certificate of Conformity (CoC), but with a limited validity of one year. The same applies to renewals. However, applicants are encouraged to adapt to the new code as soon as possible to ensure smooth continuity.

WHOM DOES IT IMPACT?

The direct impact is on manufacturers, importers, distributors, and telecommunications service providers.

CONCLUSION:

This regulatory update strengthens regulatory control over technical compatibility, efficient spectrum use, and interoperability, ensuring that all LMR equipment marketed or used in Malaysia complies with strictly defined parameters. In the short term, it may entail technical and administrative adjustments for manufacturers and importers, but in the medium and long term, it will contribute to greater reliability and standardization in critical communications that rely on this technology.
