Building Smarter, Greener Industries Through EECA Compliance

CETM Electrotest Sdn. Bhd., in collaboration with Optimal Systems Engineering Sdn. Bhd. (OPTIMISE), recently delivered a one-day workshop at Geno Hotel Subang Jaya on 4 September 2025, aimed at equipping participants with the knowledge and tools required to comply with the upcoming Energy Efficiency & Conservation Act (EECA).
