South Africa SABS Certification
Certification Introduction
The South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) was established in accordance with the National Standards Act promulgated in 1945 and is subordinate to the South African Ministry of Trade and Industry. SABS is a neutral third-party certification body in South Africa, responsible for system certification and product certification in South Africa. In addition to the responsibilities of setting standards, SABS also represents the national management standard and grants the right to use the logo for products that meet the standard. SABS Mark has been widely used in various fields and has become a symbol of product quality assurance.
Certificate Description
1. South Africa's certification is divided into two cases: the first application is LOA and COC, which are mandatory for South African imports, and this certification process is not allowed to affix the SASB trademark on the product's Label. Factory inspection is required. The second type of application is based on the first type of application and can re-apply for the use of SABS Mark. The use of this type of mark requires a series of factory inspection procedures, which cost a lot, and a certain amount of annual fees and factory fees must be paid every year. The inspection fee is used as the right to use the logo.
