What the SABS EMC CoC Certification covers, who needs it, and how SZC-LAB tests and certifies your product for South Africa.
SABS EMC Certificate of Compliance - required for electronic products as part of the NRCS Letter of Authority application.
Market context: Compulsory specifications are enforced through the NRCS Letter of Authority, supported by SABS testing.
For the product categories it covers, yes - the SABS EMC CoC Certification is required before products can legally be placed on the South Africa market. Shipping without it can mean customs holds, marketplace delisting and retailer rejections.
The SABS EMC CoC Certification is only as strong as the test report behind it. We run the underlying work - EMC/EMI Testing and the related programme for your product - in our own CNAS & ILAC accredited laboratory in Shenzhen, then prepare the documentation the SABS EMC CoC Certification application is built on.
