Making South Africa Electrically Safe With Standards & Monitoring
The Electrical Conformance Board of South Africa (ECB) was established in 1983 as the national umbrella body and customer champion within the electrical and electronic sector. It is an unbiased organisation where the general public , manufacturers, importers, designers, installers and the regulator use the ECB as their partner and interface between themselves and the various industry stakeholders. Promoting conformance, co-operation and support, the ECB works closely with organizations, such as the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS), to assist in the regulation of the industry.
The ECB is a Not for Profit organisation funded entirely by its members and donations. Join us as a member for specialised services or sign up for our newsletter.
