The South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) is a tripartite certification body established under the National Standards Act promulgated in 1945. SABS certification is widely used in electrical products, safety equipment, mechanical products and automotive products and other fields. In recent years, SABS certification has become an important weight for the South African government to control the import of products. After the product obtains the SABS certificate, it is necessary to provide the local agent information to South Africa, so that the South African government will issue a LOA (Letter of Authorization) to the agent. At this time, the customer can sell to South Africa.
