EPG secures BOMBA certification for data centre solutions

EPG, a Singapore-based leading provider of modular data centre solutions with advanced manufacturing facilities in Johor Bahru, has received BOMBA certification from Malaysia’s Fire and Rescue Department for its containerised modular products — making it one of the first modular data centre manufacturers to meet Malaysia’s mandatory fire-safety requirements. 

This certification enables EPG to deploy its modular systems more rapidly within Malaysia and strengthens the country’s reputation as a manufacturing and export base for high-growth data centre technologies. 

BOMBA certification is a crucial compliance requirement for any data centre or critical infrastructure equipment entering the Malaysian market. The approval confirms that EPG’s modular solutions meet local fire-safety regulations and Malaysian Standards (MS), in addition to internationally recognised ISO benchmarks. 

For Malaysia — currently emerging as a preferred location for AI, cloud and hyperscale infrastructure — the certification supports safer, faster rollout of prefabricated and modular data centre capacity, which is increasingly in demand among operators in Johor, Klang Valley and Penang. 

With BOMBA certification secured, Malaysia-manufactured units can be deployed not only domestically but also exported efficiently to neighbouring markets including Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia — further elevating Malaysia’s position in the regional data centre supply chain.

“BOMBA certification is an important milestone for EPG because it validates our compliance with Malaysia’s stringent fire-safety requirements and signals our readiness for deployment across ASEAN,” an EPG spokesperson said. 

“It boosts confidence among customers that our modular solutions are both reliable and safe for mission-critical environments.”

The BOMBA approval forms part of EPG’s broader global compliance roadmap as it grows internationally. The company is now accelerating certification efforts in highly-regulated regions across Europe and the Middle East, using its Malaysian manufacturing hub as a key base for future market expansion.
