What make MRB different from other CBs?

We are the specialist/ expert for certification on rubber and rubber products

SMR Scheme

• Launched in 1965

• Revolutionized the rubber industry in Malaysia in many aspects such as processing method, technical specification, quality control, packaging and marketing

• Comprehensive and holistic approaches of total control system

• Gained a good reputation and the confidence of SMR consumers

SMR LABORATORY INSPECTION

To ensure authorized SMR testing laboratories conform with testing, grading and certification procedures

All authorized SMR Laboratories are subjected to surveillance inspection by LGM

Surveillance inspection - twice a year (unannounced)

continued…1

The frequency of the inspection can change depending upon: Previous report findings Performance in crosscheck and Round

Robin Quality Control feedback

continued…2

Inspection of the laboratory will cover

5 main test

Additional test

Recording

Environment

Calibration

Blending mill

Housekeeping

Continuous Improvement as part of ongoing effort to improve our Laboratory Inspection

• Quality Management System (QMS) – ISO9001

– Documentation

– Report

• Lead Auditor ISO/IEC17025

– competency

• Safety in Laboratory

– Management of Chemicals (cradle to crave)

– Laws & Regulations on Chemicals/ Labs wastes

Our Approaches Toward Inspection

Integrity Competent Accommodative

Conclusion

Laboratory inspection plays an important role in controlling SMR scheme as test results will be used to determine the grade of SMR
