Tap and mixer matrix

As these products are required to hold a South African National Standard ( SANS ) accreditation , only compliant products are listed .
Tests only , are not allowed either . Only SANS accredited taps and mixers may be specified and installed according to the SANS 10252 parts 1 and 2 which is a compulsory standard .
It is hoped that discussion with the National Regulator for Compulsory Standards ( NRCS ) will contribute to ridding this country of non-compliant product .
The standards are very clear , and the purpose of the standards is primarily to stop wastage of water and to use products that are reliable .
Whilst materials have developed over the years , it is for industry to seek to change the standards if they are an improvement on the existing ones . We trust the matrix will be helpful for quick identification of the approved taps and mixers in South Africa at this point .
The matrix may be reproduced but only in full .
