Dear George SABS certificatation is not mandatory, BUT our legislation requires that you must be able to produce a test report to proof compliance with the safety requirements. You also need a letter from the SABS stating that the test report is acceptable as proof of compliance. The SABS is part of CB, and a company from the USA will need to submit the CB certificate with the report to the SABS to obtain this letter. The letter is obtained from our Regulatory Department Contact Mr Wimpie Lyons (Manager) at Tel: +27 12 428 6480 or Fax: +27 12 344 1568 or e-mail: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> . The EMI reports and certificates are also evaluated by the SABS and then we issue a SA certificate on behalf of the regultory authority SATRA. Contact Mr Ben Kruger at tel: +27 12 428 6677 or +27 12 428 6523 (fax) or e-mail [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> for further information and cost details. The certitfication can be done from your own country, it is sometimes just easier to have a local contact person, but it is not required.
