Verdict. Every Deye SUN-5/6/8/10/12K-SG04LP3-EU unit leaving the CN dispatch warehouse for Malaysia must pass an insulation-resistance (IR) test at 500 V DC (class I) or 1000 V DC (class II) with a ≥ 60 s hold and a resistance reading of ≥ 1 MΩ (basic insulation) or ≥ 100 MΩ (reinforced insulation) before the customs dossier can be lodged. Owners: QC Engineer (test execution), QC Supervisor (co-sign), Export Coordinator (customs dossier), Logistics Coordinator (FIATA multimodal carrier hand-over). Horizon: D − 2 dispatch pack → D − 1 test execution → D 0 export lodging → D + 4 to D + 10 arrival at the MY site. Evidence date: 2026-09-22. Limitation: figures are working references; MY duty/GST and CN export duty rows are flagged PENDING and must be re-verified on the JKDM / MyGov and GACC portals at the time of each shipment.
This SOP applies to Ningbo Deye Inverter Technology Co., Ltd. — SUN-5/6/8/10/12K-SG04LP3-EU hybrid inverters leaving the CN dispatch warehouse and entering Malaysia via the CN→MY trade corridor. The Deye product page is the canonical model reference: https://www.deyeinverter.com/product/hybrid-inverter-1/sun5-6-8-10-12ksg04lp3.html. The IR test is a safety verification, not a performance test, and is performed on every unit that has been powered-up or repaired before re-shipping.
