TAP AND MIXER MATRIX - July 2022

By
Rory Macnamara
As these products are required to hold a South African National Standard ( SANS ) accreditation , only such were allowed to be listed . Tests only , were not allowed either .
Plumbing Africa Journal / www . plumbingafrica . co . za Only SANS accredited taps / mixers may be specified and installed . The standards are very clear , and the purpose of the standards is primarily to stop wastage of water and 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 . The matrix may be reproduced but only in full .
