The Electromagnetic Compatibility and Interference (EMC/I) is a unit within the SABS that provides services for conformity to national and international EMC standards.
It offers end-to-end EMC conformity assessment services from testing, certification and standards development support. The unit currently consist of two functions: issuance of EMC Certificates of Conformance and SABS Authorized test laboratory program (SABS A-Lab)
SABS Authorized Lab Scheme (A-Lab)
To support the CoCs issuance functions, the SABS developed and manages a testing laboratory authorisation program (A-Lab) to ensure high confidence level in test results and traceability of test report. Under the A-Lab program, accredited and independent test laboratories are assessed by the SABS before they are listed as SABS authorized labs. Authorized labs are managed through international best practice and local market requirements.
