STANDARDS-WRITING-ORGANISATIONS (SWO)

Another attempt to expedite the development of Malaysian Standards and as parts of efforts to lead the nation towards industrialisation, a national strategy to decentralise some of the standards development activities to relevant private and public sector organisations has been adopted.

These Standards-Writing Organisations (SWO) are organisations or associations appointed by SIRIM Berhad to undertake and manage standards development work under the direction of a specific Industry Standards Committee (ISC). Each SWO enters into formal agreement with SIRIM Berhad with its functions and duties defined.
