DEPARTMENT OF STANDARDS MALAYSIA
DEVELOPMENT OF MALAYSIAN STANDARDS
y
Malaysian Standards (MS) are developed through consensus by committees which comprise
balanced representation of producers, users, consumers and others with relevant interests,
as may be appropriate to the subject at hand. To the greatest extent possible, Malaysian
nl
Standards are aligned to or are adoption of international standards. Approval of a standard
as a Malaysian Standard is governed by the Standards of Malaysia Act 1996 [Act 549].
Malaysian Standards are reviewed periodically. The use of Malaysian Standards is voluntary
except in so far as they are made mandatory by regulatory authorities by means of
regulations, local by-laws or any other similar ways.
O
For the purposes of Malaysian Standards, the following definitions apply:
Revision: A process where existing Malaysian Standard is reviewed and updated which
resulted in the publication of a new edition of the Malaysian Standard.
ew
Confirmed MS: A Malaysian Standard that has been reviewed by the responsible
committee and confirmed that its contents are current.
Technical corrigendum: A corrected reprint of the current edition which is issued to correct
either a technical error or ambiguity in a Malaysian Standard inadvertently introduced either
in drafting or in printing and which could lead to incorrect or unsafe application of the
publication.
NOTE: Technical corrigenda are not to correct errors which can be assumed to have no consequences in the application
Pr
STANDARDS MALAYSIA has appointed SIRIM Berhad as the agent to develop, distribute
and sell Malaysian Standards.

Concrete under the authority of the Industry Standards Committee on Building, Construction
and Civil Engineering.
y
a) incorporation of changes necessary to align with the publication of MS EN 206:2016;
nl

MS 523 consists of the following parts, under the general title Concrete:
O
Part 2: Method of specifying and guidance for the specifier
Previously, MS 523 was published in three parts. MS 523: Part 1:2005 has been superseded
ew
with MS EN 206:2016. MS 523-2 and MS 523-3 remain as listed above. The adoption of EN
Standards as Malaysian Standards is in line with the industry’s transition to EN Standards’
application.
Compliance with a Malaysian Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal
ev
obligations.
