Who Is Responsible For SANS?
The responsibility for the implementation and oversight of the SANS 10400 building regulations in South Africa lies with various entities.
The South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) plays a crucial role in developing and maintaining these regulations. They work in collaboration with the National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC) and the South African Council for the Architectural Profession (SACAP).
The Department of Human Settlements, as the government body responsible for housing and building regulations, also plays a significant role in enforcing and monitoring compliance with SANS 10400.
These entities work collectively to ensure that buildings in South Africa adhere to the necessary safety, health, and environmental standards outlined in the regulations.
