Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common questions about product regulatory status, NPRA records, and how this platform works in Malaysia.

This section is designed to help you understand regulatory terms correctly and use publicly available information responsibly.

How can I check if a product is registered with NPRA in Malaysia?

You can check a product’s regulatory status by searching its name, MAL number, or manufacturer in this platform.
We present structured information derived from publicly available NPRA and Malaysian regulatory records, allowing you to view the latest known status in one place.

  • This platform simplifies regulatory data for reference purposes and does not replace official verification channels.
Are cosmetics approved by KKM or NPRA in Malaysia?

No. Cosmetic products are not “approved” in Malaysia.
They are notified to NPRA under the Cosmetic Notification scheme.

This platform clearly distinguishes between:

  • Approved products (e.g. medicines with valid MAL numbers)

  • Notified products (e.g. cosmetics)

  • Inactive, expired, or cancelled records

Using correct terminology helps avoid common public misconceptions.

Does a “KKM approved” product mean it is safe or guaranteed?

The term “KKM approved” is commonly misused.
In reality:

  • Regulatory status indicates compliance at the time of registration or notification

  • It does not guarantee product effectiveness, safety for every individual, or ongoing compliance

This platform displays regulatory status only, not safety endorsements or medical claims.

What does a MAL number mean, and does it indicate approval?

A MAL number indicates that a product has been registered with NPRA under applicable regulations at the time of approval.

However:

  • A MAL number may become inactive, expired, suspended, or cancelled

  • Status may change over time

We display both the registration outcome and the current regulatory status, where available.

Where does the data on this platform come from?

All information shown is derived from publicly accessible Malaysian regulatory sources, including NPRA-related records.

We do not:

  • Modify official records

  • Issue approvals

  • Represent regulatory authorities

This platform organizes and presents information for reference and research purposes only.

How often is product status updated?

Regulatory records are checked and refreshed regularly based on data availability.
Each product page includes a “Status last checked” date to indicate when the information was most recently verified against public records.

Users should always refer to official sources for final confirmation.

What is this platform and who is it for?

This platform is a regulatory intelligence and reference tool designed for:

  • Consumers seeking clarity

  • Brand owners and manufacturers

  • Distributors and retailers

  • Researchers and compliance teams

It helps users understand product regulatory status in Malaysia using structured, searchable public data.

Never miss a regulatory change that matters.
