j) VC8077 - Compulsory Specification for the Safety of Medium-Voltage Electrical Cables.
k) VC8043 - Compulsory Specification for the Safety of Incandescent Lamps.
l) VC 9087 – Compulsory specification for Lamp Control Gear
m) VC9091 – Compulsory specification for compact fluorescent lamps
n) VC8006 – Compulsory specification for the safety of Flexible cords for electrical appliances
o) VC 8008 – Compulsory specification for the safety of Plugs, socket outlets and socket outlets adaptors

q) VC 8052 – Compulsory specification for the safety of Manually operated Switches for appliances
LOA’s are required by all manufacturers and importers of commodities that fall under the scope of the above compulsory specifications prior, to the sale of the product. This LOA will only be issued after the successful evaluation of the proof of compliance submitted. A memorandum of agreement between SARS (Customs & Excise) and NRCS also ensures stringent import control, such that no importer will be granted market entry into SA for commodities that fall under the scope of the relevant compulsory specifications unless they are in possession of an original valid LOA for the specific commodities. The Customs and Excise official will also verify the physical LOA’s produced with the LOA database that SARS has real-time access to.
