What Is The Purpose Of SANS South Africa?
The purpose of the South African National Standards (SANS) building regulations is to ensure the safety, health, and quality of buildings in South Africa.
These regulations establish minimum requirements for the design, construction, and maintenance of buildings, encompassing areas such as structural integrity, fire safety, accessibility, energy efficiency, and ventilation. By enforcing these standards, the aim is to protect occupants and the public, promote sustainable development, and create a framework for consistent and reliable construction practices across the country.
Compliance with SANS building regulations is essential for the well-being and welfare of all South Africans.
