Maintained country rule

What this Atom Malaysia Class C irradiating-apparatus licence check is screening

Separates product, supplier, import, facility, source-holder, and operator radiation obligations. Applies when the product, feature, component, or use is in scope.

Requirement family: Ionizing radiation and radioactive sources
Regulatory object: product and use site
Maintained rule status: mandatory if feature
Useful product facts: X-ray or radioactive source, modality, energy, import purpose, installation site, and operator role.

Act 304 and the Radiation Protection (Licensing) Regulations 1986 regulate radiation generators; Atom Malaysia lists Class C for irradiating apparatus. Read the 2011 Act reprint together with Act A1779: its section 9 updates Act 304 section 12(3), including the eligible medical professionals, while sections 13–14 replace the Board with the Director General in sections 15–16. Applications for a medical purpose are referred to the Director General of Health; doubtful medical/non-medical classification is referred to the Advisory Council under section 16(4a). The current licence catalogue lists an RM 15 application fee and a licence fee by category. Act A1779 received royal assent on 20 November 2025. P.U. (B) 425/2025 commenced it on 1 December 2025 except sections 10, 15, 17, 18, 33 and 53. The new import/export/transit permit provisions are among those exceptions; do not treat their enactment or the general commencement date as proof that a specific permit provision is in force.

How to read the answer

Classification is only the first layer

A device may have one medical risk class and still trigger separate radio, electrical, measurement, radiation, environmental, import, or installation requirements. The checker keeps each regulatory object separate.

Product approval

A certificate or approval attached to the finished product, component, or radio host.

Dossier or import evidence

Testing can belong inside the medical dossier, while some documents apply to each shipment.

Site or operator licence

Radiation, installation, use, or measurement controls may apply to a facility or operator.

About this checker

A preliminary tool, not a regulatory determination

Describe the complete product — radio, power, measurement, radiation, battery, materials, accessories, intended use, import route, and existing approvals. The free checker maps those facts to the maintained Malaysia scheme matrix and links each route to its official source.

Use the result to identify questions and official sources. Final scope can depend on exact models, modules, bands, components, claims, HS codes, import structure, installation site, and current authority interpretation.

Is this the same as medical device classification in Malaysia?: No. Risk classification determines the main medical-device pathway. This checker runs after classification and looks for additional product certificates, dossier evidence, import documents, and facility or operator licences.
Does “no separate certificate” mean no testing is required?: No. Safety, EMC, performance, or other evidence can still be required inside the medical-device dossier even when there is no separate national product certificate.
Is the result an official regulatory determination?: No. It is a preliminary applicability assessment. Review the linked official source and confirm the final route with the relevant authority, certification body, importer, or regulatory professional.
