01Why South China
Steel for Malaysia's warehouse and data centre build-out
Johor Bahru and the Klang Valley are absorbing a wave of data centres, e-commerce warehouses and electronics plants. Programs are short and many buildings use the same frame repeatedly, which suits factory fabrication at scale.
Malaysia designs to Eurocode with Malaysian National Annexes, so EN-based detailing, grades and documentation transfer directly. Our Q355B/C/D steel is supplied against S355JR/J2 equivalents with EN 10204 3.1 certificates.
At about 4 days of sailing, we can ship by phase and keep site stock low. In Malaysia we can also install through our Indonesian sister company PT Xianghe, so the same group is accountable from shop drawing to bolted frame.
- Detailing to MS EN 1993-1-1 and MS EN 1993-1-8 with Malaysian NA
- S355JR / J2 equivalent grades with 3.1 MTCs per heat
- Repeatable frames for multi-phase data centre and warehouse campuses
- Supply, supervision or full installation in Malaysia

02Codes & compliance
Designing and fabricating to Malaysia requirements
Buildings in Malaysia are approved under the Uniform Building By-Laws 1984 by the local authority, with structural design to MS EN 1993 and loads to MS EN 1991. Imported construction materials are regulated by CIDB.
| Topic | Malaysia requirement | How we deliver |
|---|---|---|
| Steel design | MS EN 1993-1-1 with Malaysian National Annex | Connections to MS EN 1993-1-8 or your engineer’s details |
| Loads | MS EN 1991 with Malaysian NA, MS 1553 wind (legacy) | Design inputs taken from your drawings |
| Execution | EN 1090-2 execution class EXC2 commonly specified | ITP, weld maps and dimensional records per execution class |
| Welding | EN ISO 15614 / AWS D1.1 | Qualified WPS/PQR, 100% UT on CJP welds |
| Steel material | MS EN 10025 / BS EN 10025 S275 / S355 | Q355B/C/D supplied against S355JR/J2 with EN 10204 3.1 MTCs |
| Import compliance | CIDB Act 520, Fourth Schedule materials need a Certificate of Approval | MTCs, test reports and product data supplied for your importer’s CIDB application |
| Corrosion | ISO 12944 C3 inland, C4–C5 coastal | Epoxy zinc-rich systems or hot-dip galvanizing for secondary steel |
Typical references for industrial and commercial work. The approved drawings and specification govern.
CIDB: structural steel products listed in the Fourth Schedule of the CIDB Act need a Certificate of Approval (SPP) before import, applied for by the Malaysian importer. We supply MTCs, independent test reports and product data in the format CIDB-accredited labs ask for, and allow time for this in the program.
