Part R of the Act states: “The owner of any site shall provide suitable means for the control and disposal of accumulated stormwater which may run off from any earthworks, building or paving.”

A Brief look at SANS X & XA
The South African National Standards (SANS) X & XA regulations are two sets of standards that regulate the safety of electrical installations and equipment in the country. The regulations are designed to ensure that all electrical installations and equipment are safe for use and are compliant with the applicable national and international safety standards.
The SANS Part X & XA regulations concern the safety of electrical installations in both residential and commercial environments. These regulations ensure that electrical installations are properly designed, constructed, maintained and tested in order to reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, and other hazards. This includes the installation of proper protection devices such as circuit breakers, fuses, and residual current devices (RCDs). The standards also require that all electrical systems are tested and inspected at regular intervals and that any defects are rectified immediately.
The SANS Part X & XA regulations concern the safety of electrical equipment and appliances in the home and workplace. These regulations require that all electrical appliances and equipment meet the applicable safety requirements, including the electrical safety rating, the ability to withstand short-circuiting and the correct insulation. The standards also require that all electrical equipment and appliances are properly labeled, with warnings for any potential hazards.
The SANS Part X & XA regulations are an important part of the South African electrical safety system and are essential for ensuring the safety of people and property. The regulations are regularly updated to reflect any changes in the safety standards and technology, and they are enforced by the South African government. It is important to ensure that all electrical installations and equipment are compliant with these regulations in order to avoid potential hazards and to ensure the safety of people and property.
