Frequently Asked Questions – CF Renewal for PMT, PMD, PMA Equipment under JKKP / DOSH Malaysia
A CF (Certificate of Fitness) Renewal is the mandatory process of re-certifying pressure-related and mechanical equipment under Malaysia’s Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH), also known as JKKP. PMT refers to Unfired Pressure Vessels, PMD to Boilers, and PMA to Lifting Equipment and Cranes. Renewal ensures that equipment continues to meet the safety and operational standards required by Malaysian law.
The renewal frequency depends on the type of equipment and its usage. Typically, PMT and PMD equipment require annual CF renewals, while certain PMA equipment may have different inspection cycles. Regular renewals are critical to avoid penalties, prevent operational shutdowns, and maintain insurance validity
The CF renewal process involves:
-
Pre-inspection checks to ensure equipment readiness.
-
Non-destructive testing (NDT) such as ultrasonic thickness measurement, magnetic particle inspection, or radiographic testing.
-
Compliance documentation preparation (maintenance records, repair logs, past inspection reports).
-
Submission to DOSH and scheduling of the official inspection.
-
Issuance of the renewed Certificate of Fitness.
Operating equipment with an expired CF is illegal under Malaysian law. This can result in immediate enforcement actions, fines, equipment shutdown, and even prosecution in serious cases. Furthermore, insurance coverage may be voided, leaving the business exposed to liability in the event of an accident.
CT Precise Engineering provides full support, including pre-inspection audits, NDT services, documentation preparation, and direct coordination with DOSH officers. Our team ensures that all testing and inspection requirements are met, reducing the risk of non-compliance and speeding up the renewal process.
Yes. Many clients combine their CF renewals with API inspections such as API 510, API 570, and API 653, along with other DOSH-mandated checks. This integrated approach minimises downtime, reduces costs, and ensures that all regulatory obligations are met in a single mobilisation.
We offer nationwide coverage, including Johor, Penang, Kuantan, Klang Valley, and offshore facilities. For urgent CF renewals—such as those close to expiry or under enforcement notice—we can deploy inspection teams and coordinate with DOSH within the same week, sometimes even within 48 hours. By combining our inspection expertise, NDT capabilities, and regulatory knowledge, we ensure clients stay compliant without costly operational delays.
