Conformity & chemical control (verified)

  • NRCS (National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications) — issues a Letter of Authority (LOA) only for goods under a compulsory specification (VC); many lab reagents fall under none.
  • Hazardous Substances Act No. 15 of 1973 — hazardous substances in four Groups: Group I needs a Department of Health licence; Group II has no licensing requirement; Group III = electronic products; Group IV = radioactive (Director-General authority). Most general lab reagents are Group II (no licence) — confirmed per product.
  • DFFE — POPs / ozone / hazardous-waste environmental permits.
  • SARS Customs — importer registration + customs declaration.
