KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 2 (Bernama) -- Water filters in the market are safe to use as they have been certified by Sirim Berhad under the product certification scheme, the Dewan Rakyat was told Monday.
Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Johnity Ongkili said the quality and safety of the products met the MS IEC 60335 standard, a certification for electrical appliances.
"The water filters are certified and safe to use as they are categorised as electrical appliances under the mandatory product certification scheme," he said in a written reply to a question from Hey Loy Sian (PKR-Petaling Jaya Selatan).
He said the products, which were tested and certified by a Sirim subsidiary, Sirim QAS International, met the national and international standards.
Ongkili said Sirim also conducted random checks on certified goods by testing a sample of the products from the market to ensure that they met the standard set.
