Electrical Safety Testing Coordination
Electrical safety testing examines risks associated with applicable electrical and electronic products. ATC coordinates this work with independent laboratories for regulatory submissions.
Importers and manufacturers of regulated appliances, chargers, power supplies and electronic equipment may need safety reports for NRCS or other approvals.
How We Help
We coordinate independent testing and review evidence against the requirements of the intended approval.
Requirements & Guidance
Check these details before starting. Exact requirements depend on the product, business model and application route.
Typical supporting information includes:
- Ratings, product model and user manual
- Circuit, power supply and construction information
- Existing IEC/SANS safety evidence
Confirm these points and avoid common pitfalls:
- Check local plug and supply requirements
- Confirm national deviations where required
- Review model and marking consistency
Issues worth addressing early:
- Missing South African deviations
- Incomplete report or untested power supply
- Different label ratings from tested equipment
How It Works
Independent laboratories perform the tests. ATC coordinates scope, documents and report alignment.
