Steel Standards
Malaysian Standards (MS) is a consensus document developed by the Standards Development Committee in the Malaysian Standards Development System and approved by the Minister of International Trade and Industry (MITI).
MS (s) are generally voluntary, developed by stakeholders divided into 4 (four) categories of stakeholder interests: general, manufacturers, regulatory authorities and consumers to ensure balanced representation. However, they may be required by referral by the authorities through regulations, local by-laws or other similar means.
