In the South African market, all electronic equipment either manufactured locally or imported from overseas needs to adhere to and comply with certain compulsory regulations set out by the National Regulator of Compulsory Specifications (NRCS) in order for them to be sold in the South African market. These goods go through a series of tests to ensure the safety and energy efficiency of the electrical apparatus which, in turn, protects the health and safety of the consumer. After the inspection has been completed and it is found that the item is deemed safe to use in the South African market, an LOA (Letter of Authority) is issued for the particular item. No electrical goods can be sold legally in South Africa without having a valid LOA in place.
