Malaysia: MCMC Issues New Technical Codes for Equipment and SRDs
Malaysia’s Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) issued the following technical codes:
MCMC MTSFB TC T022:2026, Communications Equipment – Baseline Requirements
MCMC MTSFB TC T007:2026, Short Range Devices – Specifications (Third Revision)
The new baseline code, MCMC MTSFB TC T022:2026, sets unified standards for communications equipment and addresses:
device labeling
interoperability
IPv6 support
electromagnetic compatibility
electrical safety
power density considerations
The revised SRD technical code, MCMC MTSFB TC T007:2026, updates technical criteria for multiple device classes, including:
RFID equipment
Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) equipment
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) devices
automotive radar sensors
Radio Local Area Network (RLAN) equipment
Notable modifications include an output power increase to 500 mW EIRP for 13.553–13.567 MHz, RFID frequency usage allocated to 919–923 MHz, and a limitation of 5.25–5.35 GHz equipment to indoor deployment only.
For 6 GHz RLAN applications, the revised technical code sets power limits by use case:
25 mW EIRP for portable short-range use
250 mW EIRP for fixed indoor installations in buildings, trains, or aircraft
