Applicant shall set the frequency range for Malaysia as default frequency setting for all existing and new RFID;
– Applicant shall indicate the frequency range for Malaysia on product specifications, user manual and product brochure. All documents submitted for certification and for distribution to consumer or buyer shall reflect this.
The detailed information of above actions is available in attached Addendum II of Certification Requirement for Communication, Multimedia and Hybrid Equipment.

Failure to comply with the law may also result in fines.
