What is JKR

In Malaysia, if you need to enter government procurement, such as the National Electricity Bureau TNB or the Malaysian Municipal Bureau JKR certification, click to view JKR's vision, mission, goals, functions and introduction

JKR is the Malay abbreviation of the Malaysian National Municipal Engineering Administration. JKR is mainly responsible for the construction and management of municipal engineering, such as road construction, traffic planning, etc., and supervises the quality of municipal engineering. JKR has formulated a series of standards for the quality of municipal engineering, such as lighting facilities, traffic signal facilities, building quality, etc. The supporting products and equipment used for municipal engineering must meet the requirements of JKR.

In what aspects does JKR's standard manifest?

JKR's standards may include specific requirements such as the carrying capacity of roads, the design load of bridges, the ventilation of tunnels and street lighting. Malaysia's municipal street lights require that the product must be certified by the certification body with the JKR standard certificate and affixed with the certification standards before they can be exported to Malaysia.

Market trend of Jkr standards

In recent years, Malaysia's demand for solar street lights has continued to rise, and people are increasingly aware of the impact of traditional energy on the environment. Solar street lights are a clean and renewable energy source that helps reduce carbon emissions and address climate change. Therefore, the cost of using solar street lights in municipal lighting is considerable.

Solway solar street lights have already had successful cases in municipal lighting. From design, layout, and lamp use recommendations, they meet municipal engineering solutions and meet global certification standards, including CE ROHS JKR SIRIM SASO NOM UL CB IEC, etc. Solway has been focusing on the production of solar street light products for more than 15 years, independently developing and designing, supporting a variety of intelligent dimming methods, further energy saving and emission reduction, soft and comfortable light, no glare, green and environmentally friendly. Therefore, many Malaysians are willing to use solway street lights to save costs.

Malaysian Municipal Lighting Standards

The latest solar specification is JKR-B1250~2750-A, which is a high-performance energy storage system suitable for residential and small commercial applications. The main contents and requirements of the JKR lighting specification are as follows:

‌ Certification requirements ‌: All lighting equipment exported to Malaysia must be JKR certified and affixed with the corresponding certification label. The certification process includes passing the test of the accredited laboratory and meeting the energy efficiency requirements of the Malaysian Energy Efficiency Committee (ST).

‌Testing standards‌: For LED lamps and other lighting equipment, specific test standards need to be met, such as IEC 62722, LM79-08, LM80-08 and IEC 62471, etc.

‌Energy efficiency management‌: The Malaysian Energy Efficiency Committee is responsible for the energy efficiency management of products. Specific products such as LED lamps need to pass the energy efficiency test of the accredited laboratory and meet the relevant standards.

Scope of application and implementing agencies

JKR specifications apply to all lighting equipment exported to Malaysia, including LED lamps, LED modules for general lighting, etc. The certification process is carried out by the Malaysian Standards and Industrial Research Institute (SIRIM) to ensure that the products meet safety, performance and energy efficiency requirements.

In summary, the lighting system specification requirements are regulations and requirements made to ensure the safety, high efficiency, energy saving and environmental protection of the lighting system. Following these specifications can effectively improve the working efficiency of the lighting system, protect environmental resources, and create more valuable projects for people.
