High cost of certification a deterrent for tyre retreaders


PETALING JAYA: High cost and lax enforcement in the past have deterred many tyre retreaders from getting the proper certification, said the Tyre Retreading Manufacturers Association of Malaysia.

“It costs between RM20,000 and RM30,000 to get the Sirim certification. Following that, you still need to incur costs to get your tyres tested by Sirim twice every year, as well as hire a quality-assurance officer to maintain your standard,” said association president Chin Hong Meng.
