The South African Bureau of Standard (SABS) has launched its new Local Content Verification Scheme, which offers domestic manufacturers the chance to certify the local content portion of their products or services.

SABS lead administrator Jodi Scholtz says the new certification scheme, which has a validity of five years, will subject domestic manufacturers to an initial audit after the self- declaration of the local content portion, following which a yearly surveillance audit will be conducted for the remaining four years of the scheme.
