Good ideas guys. I agree that any SABS or in this case NRCS certified product has to be resubmitted for testing if you change any components. That is why manufacturers must do their R&D before submitting to the SABS.

There are certain products that can not be economically manufactured in South Africa. In that case it is not such a bad idea to have it assembled locally. Just don't try to put the "made in South Africa" mark on it. The textile companies went down the drain because of this. Local retailers were announcing that they are buying local, but sent their buyers with the supplier to procure products in China.
