SABS Approved SABS is South Africaโ€™s statutory standards body, providing training, testing and certification.

GIVING YOU THE QUALITY EDGE
In the past few years, significant changes in global trade flow have enhanced the role of quality and standards in economic development. These global trade flows have resulted in subdued demand for South African exports to traditional trading partners, including the European Union and the United States of America. This creates the opportunity for South Africa to shift i

ts focus to emerging economies while maintaining its drive toward improving trade within the African continent. This is achieved by developing relevant standards that promote access to markets, while protecting local industry from low quality, cheap imports, The South African Bureau of Standards
(SABS) supports government's Industrial Policy Action Plan (IPAP), which promotes the localisation of production and addresses the current economic trends. The SABS provides the platform for quality services and products which is the key differentiator in an increasingly competitive environment. The SABS strategic objective contributes to the efficient functioning of the economy by:
1. Developing standards to advance the socio-economic well-being of South Africa in the global economy.
2. Delivering relevant conformity assessment services that facilitate access to markets for South African industry, thereby improving its competitiveness in the global trade environment. The SABS, with its rich history in standardisation, will continue to play a significant role in ensuring that industry is kept abreast of the pace of the dramatic transition of the world economy through standards development and quality assurance services, thereby providing industry with the quality edge.

Yesterday, Sabs Standards hosted a delegation from the Namibian Gambling Board, together with the , for an information exchange session focused on
gambling-related standards requirements.

The engagement provided an opportunity for stakeholders to share experiences, discuss approaches to the development and implementation of standards within the gambling sector, and explore areas of mutual interest in strengthening standardisation support for the industry.

The collaboration builds on the long-standing cooperation between the Sabs Standards and in the field of standardisation. Both institutions continue to work together to promote harmonisation, knowledge sharing, and the advancement of standards that support trade, consumer protection, and economic development within the region.

Executive Mayor, Tshepiso Mphehlo, accompanied by dignitaries, took a walk through the Mahikeng Farmers Market, visiting farmers and exhibitors, meeting the people behind the products, hearing their stories and showing their support by purchasing products directly from local farmers.

From fresh produce to locally made goods, the market was filled with products worth discovering and supporting.

The South African Bureau of Standards, The National Consumer Commissionumer and Consumer Goods and Services Ombud stands welcomed visits from farmers and exhibitors, who stopped by to engage with the teams and learn more about how we can support their businesses.

The conversations brought plenty of questions, knowledge-sharing and valuable insights, creating opportunities for farmers and businesses to connect, learn and grow.
