South African SABS 南非
SABS (South African Bureau of Standards) 是以南非政府的名義來確保合法的規範有被遵循。只要是進口到南非的產品，都必須出示強制性安全制度的海關檢查信或是在產品上標示SABS 安全標誌。技術要求: 南非的電壓為220V/50Hz (某些地區是240V/50Hz)。插頭與英國的相似，且必須符SABS164-1:1997或是SABS 164-2:1997。有Class I 及Class II ，基本上針對不同的電壓一共有兩個商業用插頭:
1. <250V/15A Class II (SABS 164-2:1997)
2. <250V/15A Class II (SABS 164-1:1997)
3. <250V/15A Class I (SABS 164-1:1997)
3. <250V/15A Class I (SABS 164-1:1997)

SABS, a statutory body, is the national institution for the promotion and maintenance of standardization and quality in connection with commodities and the rendering of services. SABS develops and publishes standards, certifies products, develops technical regulations/compulsory specifications and provides training, through technical committees and in cooperation with industry.
SANS-204: In October 2008 the South Africa National Standard-204 was published. S ANS 204 is aligned with international standards to set minimum requirements for the energy efficiency of new buildings in South Africa. The document has been designed for future incorporation into the National Building Regulations. This regulatory guideline may translate into regulations
Letter of Authority (LOA)
Government Notice R 1792 dated 08 November 1996 published in Government Gazette 17548 introduced Compulsory safety standards for electrical and electronic apparatus. Also, Government Notices R.1164 and R.1165 dated 15 August 2003 published in Government Gazette 25306 introduced the new requirements for low and medium voltage electric cables. To standardise with International Standards the standards adopted were the International Electrotechnical Commission's (IEC) Standards, these being:
a) SANS IEC 60335 – Safety of household appliances, e.g. Kettles, irons, stoves, refrigerators, commercial catering equipment, etc.
b) SANS IEC 60065 – Safety of audio-visual equipment and similar electronic apparatus, e.g. TV’s, VCR’s, Hifi’s, radios, etc.
c) SANS IEC 61029 – Safety of transportable motor-operated electrical tools, e.g. Circular saws, grinders, etc.
d) SANS IEC 60745 – Safety of hand-held motor-operated tools, e.g. Drills, sanders, etc.
e) SANS IEC 60598 – Safety of general purpose and fixed luminaries
f) SANS IEC 60950 – Safety of information technology equipment and related equipment, e.g. Computers, printers, copiers, etc. NB. Telecommunication equipment is exempt from the LOA process.
g) VC8075 – Safety of Electric Cables with Extruded Solid Dielectic Insulation for Fixed Installations (300/500V to 1900/3300V)
h) VC8077 – Safety of Medium-Voltage Electrical Cables
VC8043- Safety of Incandescent lamps
LOA’s are required by all manufacturers and importers of commodities that fall under the scope of the above compulsory specifications prior, to the sale of the product. This LOA will only be issued after the successful evaluation of the proof of compliance submitted. A memorandum of agreement between SARS (Customs & Excise) and SABS also ensures stringent import control, such that no importer will be granted market entry into SA for commodities that fall under the scope of the relevant compulsory specifications unless they are in possession of an original valid LOA for the specific commodities. The Customs and Excise official will also verify the physical LOA’s produced with the LOA database that SARS has real-time access to. Click here to download the application form.
