In the 2026 Malaysian regulatory landscape, a Professional Engineer (PE) Endorsed AHU Setup is a statutory requirement for any commercial, industrial, or high-rise residential project. Under the Fire Services Act 1988 (Act 341) and the Uniform Building By-Laws (UBBL) 2026, an AHU is not merely a cooling asset but a primary life-safety component that must be certified for structural integrity and fire-safety integration.
At EKG (Malaysia) SDN BHD, our installations are overseen by mechanical P.Eng. specialists to ensure every setup is Sterile, Silent, and Statutory-Compliant.
As of February 3, 2026, the Fire Services Regulations 2026 mandate that all mechanical ventilation and AHU systems carry PE endorsement to secure a valid AHU Safety Permit.
Form G8/G9 Submissions: A Professional Engineer must sign off on Form G8 (Fire Damper) and Form G9 (Active Fire System). This confirms that the AHU interlocks and fire-stopping measures meet BOMBA standards.
Structural Certification: For AHUs mounted on rooftops or suspended from slabs, a PE (Mechanical or Civil) must endorse the Mounting & Vibration Isolation system to ensure the building's structural integrity is not compromised under operational or seismic loads.
eFEIS 2.0 Digital Signing: Endorsements are now processed through the eFEIS 2.0 portal, linking the PE's digital signature to the building's Fire Certificate (FC).
A PE-endorsed AHU installation follows a rigorous design and verification methodology that goes beyond standard contractor-led assembly.
To finalize a PE-endorsed setup, our engineers coordinate the mandatory functional audit required by Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat Malaysia (JBPM):
Functional Smoke Test: We verify that the return air Duct Smoke Detectors trigger an immediate shutdown of the IE5 EC Fan Walls.
Damper Integrity Audit: PE verification that all Motorized Fire Dampers are MS 558:2024 certified and close fully to maintain fire compartmentation.
Digital Twin Handover (LOD 500): All PE-endorsed drawings and commissioning logs are uploaded to your building’s Digital Birth Certificate for the 5-year periodic statutory audit.
Technical Integrity: Our installations are designed and endorsed by mechanical engineers who specialize in the complex intersection of thermodynamics, acoustics, and fire-life safety.
Zero-Subcontractor Execution: We manage the entire lifecycle—from PE-endorsed design to rigging and BOMBA witness testing—ensuring no detail is lost in translation.
GITA Support: PE-endorsed documentation is a mandatory requirement for claiming the 100% Green Investment Tax Allowance on high-performance HVAC assets.
