May.30.2022
SABS establishes national technical committee for e-cigarette regulation.

The South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) has recently established a National Technical Committee to develop new regulations for electronic cigarettes products.

 

Currently, there are no regulations in place for the production of e-cigarettes in South Africa. However, the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) is working towards developing guidelines to promote standardization in this industry. These guidelines will cover e-cigarette products and their components.

 

The South African Bureau of Standards has reported that the use of e-cigarettes is becoming increasingly widespread in both recreational and economic activities in South Africa. It is estimated that around 350,000 people in South Africa currently use e-cigarette products, with sales totaling 1.25 billion South African rand (approximately 0.43 yuan) in 2019.
