- If the factory has more than one location, a separate application form is required. Each product within the scope of certification is required to be indicated in the application form. In addition, the factory also needs to fill out the application form of the reputation of the responsible person, who has to bear the initial factory inspection fee and other fees;
- SABS will issue an approved quotation upon receipt of the application;
- SABS will conduct a factory inspection if the quotation is accepted;
- SABS will prepare an annual supervision contract if the factory inspection is passed;
- Two auditors will conduct a random review each year, and the cost of annual supervisory audits and testing will be specified in the contract;
- Two auditors will take samples back to the laboratory;
- Samples for future tests will be taken by SABS from the goods of the buyer in South Africa. If the batch of goods is less than 4 times per year, then insufficient samples will be requested to be sent from the factory, and the cost will be borne by the factory;
- If the test result is unsatisfactory, the cost of the sample and the cost of retesting will be borne by the factory.
South Africa’s certification is divided into two types of certification:
- The first type of application is to apply for a letter of authority (LoA) and certificate of conformity (CoC), which is mandatory for South Africa’s imports, and this certification process is not allowed to label SASB mark on the label of products, such application do not require factory inspection.
- The second type of application is based on the first type of application, and can be applied for the use of SABS mark. The use of the mark requires a series of factory inspection procedures, and will cost a lot. Annual fees and factory inspection fees must be paid every year to use the mark.
SABS certificate is valid for 3 years unless cancelled for other reasons.
