The National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications (also known as the NRCS) is an independent organization that is mandated and gazetted by the South African Government to enforce compulsory specifications.
Safety Footwear is one of many categories which the NRCS regulates.
The NRCS monitors and inspects the South African safety footwear market to ensure that the compulsory specifications of safety footwear are being adhered to by safety footwear manufacturers, importers, and wholesalers.
The South African National Gazette 1019, confirms that the compulsory specification for safety footwear is the SANS 20345 specification.
Furthermore, the gazette confirms that the NRCS is responsible for issuing the necessary approvals for safety footwear, that is in accordance with the requirements of this Compulsory Specification.
