The Professional Services Standard for Technologists and Technicians serve as a reference for propelling Malaysia to the forefront of the national technological landscape. This standard is aligned with the Technologists and Technicians Act 2015 (Act 768), ensuring consistency with our national legislative framework. The primary reason for developing this standard is to establish a clear and structured path for practitioners, delineating the boundaries between technology fields while facilitating the government in formulating effective policies. It underscores MBOT’s commitment to nurturing a professional, competent and adaptable workforce ready to meet the evolving needs of our industries. This document is an important reference for Professional Technologists (Ts.) and Certified Technicians (Tc.), alongside organisations, project owners and regulators who depend on professionalism and technical expertise. By providing clear, consistent standards across all 24 recognised fields of technology, the standard aims to ensure that practitioners in technology and technical fields uphold the highest levels of competence, ethics and responsibility. By fostering continuous professional growth, we ensure that our technologists and technicians remain at the forefront of their fields, consistently meeting industrial demands and staying ahead of global advancements. The development of this standard is rooted in inclusivity, collaboration and technological advancement. Contributions from experts, industry organisations and practitioners across diverse technology fields have made it both practical and relevant. Additionally, the standard incorporates emerging technologies, ensuring that the practices of our members are futureproof and responsive to the dynamic technological landscape
