This is going to be long...
Apple Malaysia or 3rd party agent will help Apple HQ/USA to submit all the technical documents and specifications to SIRIM to apply and test for the Type Approval. Refer this or previous threads, there are mention something about that in October 2014 before iPhone 6/6+ can launch in Malaysia.
This is required for each device variants and models, although some can be group together and tested (Wifi only / WiFi + 3G). Some will require multiple units for the same make and model, to get the average results.
Testing will be in queue and may take days/weeks/months, depending if it complies or not, and also sufficient documentation/specs. Then schedule appointment to re-test again.
This is only required to do one time, and any subsequent import (by anyone), can refer to the approved documentation number, which is your case now and most others from SG warehouse.
Instead of paying hundreds/thousands of RM for the test, the importer only pays for RM100 +/- fee. For personal use of importing 1-2 units, normally no issue. Unless for trade/commercial where Customs stop/check you importing a lot.
In your case, the device is generic enough, hence the reference is more than enough to certify it will not interfere with other RF signals (bluetooth included as well).
e.g. What is this certification/testing is, if the device is stated to work at 1800MHz, e.g. it is actually 1800-1820. So, any variance outside this range, less than 1800MHz or more than 1820Mhz, will be scrutinized and depending on the tolerance level, it is either rejected/approved. This is to avoid interference and overlapping of RF, which will cause issues for other RF/devices.
Also check many other things, such as a transmitter/receiver, device output/transmitting wattage, etc. I'll let those 2E/3E engineers explain the real tech stuff.
Like LTE, different country got different bandwidth and spectrum allocation. This RF covers everything, from GSM, EDGE, HSDPA, bluetooth, wifi A/B/N/G, walkie talkie public/police/military, tv and radio signals (FM radio, AM, short-wave, long wave), microwave oven, tv remote, etc. Yes, microwave oven, and any other device that emits RF.
So, technically speaking, when iPhone 6/6+ (or any other device) not yet officially launch in Malaysia, and if there is no type approval by SIRIM yet, and you buy new unit from USA/HK/SG/Australia/etc., if Customs stop you at KLIA or JB causeway or Westport ferry terminal, they see no SIRIM sticker, they can confiscate/detain the device and ask you to show the type approval document. So far I have not seen/heard cases with phones, but encounter with other RF devices. Well, technically speaking only.
