(Longer CAB timeframe estimates had been stated in previous guidance documents.)

In addition, the MDA has included templates for conformity assessment reports (Annex A) and certificates of conformity (Annex B) in the guidance. Otherwise, no other significant changes to the Malaysian CAB assessment process have been included in the latest document.
