I-SABS (South African Bureau of Standards) isungule i-National TC (Technical Committee) ukuthi ichaze Amazinga Kazwelonke aseNingizimu Afrika ukuze anikeze isiqondiso mayelana nokusetshenziswa kukagwayi we-elekthronikhi neminye imikhiqizo yokuphefumula.
ENingizimu Afrika, okwamanje akukho mithetho yokukhiqizwa kwe-vaping, kuwumthwalo we-SABS ukubeka imithetho futhi ikhuthaze ukulinganisa kulo mkhakha, okuhlanganisa nemikhiqizo yokuphefumula kanye nezingxenye zayo ezifana namadamu nama-cartridges.
I-Bureau izophinde ihlanganise imihlahlandlela mayelana namasampula, amagama, izindlela zokuhlola nokuhlaziya, ukuphathwa kwekhwalithi, ukuphepha, ukucaciswa komkhiqizo, ukugcinwa, ukupakishwa, nezidingo zokuhamba.
I-SABS ibone ukuthi imikhiqizo ekhiqiza umphunga iya ngokuya iduma eNingizimu Afrika ngokwezinjongo zezomnotho nezokuzijabulisa. Isilinganiso sikhombisile ukuthi bangu-350,000 abantu abajabulela imikhiqizo yokuphefumula futhi ukuthengiswa bekungu-R1.25 billion ngo-2019.
Umqondisi oholayo wakwa-SABS, uJodi Scholtz, uthe njengoba imboni ikhula kubalulekile ukubeka amazinga kazwelonke aqondisa ikhwalithi yomkhiqizo futhi anikeze abathengi isiqiniseko sokuthi imikhiqizo kagesi namathuluzi asetshenziswa ekuvuseni athembekile futhi aphephile ukuwasebenzisa.
Ihhovisi lizogxila emikhiqizweni engenagwayi kuphela.
Njengamanje, uMnyango Wezempilo unomthethosivivinywa osalungiswa wokwengamela imikhiqizo kagwayi nezinhlelo zokulethwa kwe-elekthronikhi, ongaphansi kophenyo lomphakathi. I-SABS ithe izonaka imikhiqizo eshisayo futhi icubungule ukufakwa kohlaka lomthethosivivinywa, nolwazi oluthi imithetho, namazinga awokuzithandela.
U-Scholtz uphinde watshela ukuthi bahlela ukusingatha umhlangano wokuqala wekomiti lezobuchwepheshe; umhlangano uzovunywa maduze lapho abalawuli kanye nabanye ababambiqhaza ababalulekile bezoqinisekisa ukuzibophezela. I-SABS igxile ekutheni izosungula amazinga nemithetho kazwelonke yokufakwa kwezicelo ngokuzithandela.
Ayikho imithetho namazinga emikhiqizweni yokufufusa eNingizimu Afrika nakwezinye izindawo zase-Afrika. I-TC izobheka imihlahlandlela yamazwe ngamazwe etholakalayo, izinqubomgomo, amazinga, ucwaningo, kanye nemibhalo eyengeziwe ukuze ibeke izindinganiso kazwelonke zokuzithandela zeNingizimu Afrika.
U-Scholtz uphinde wanezela ukuthi ngemva kokuvunywa kwemvume ngabahlanganyeli be-TC, izinga lokusalungiswa lizobhekana nesigaba sophenyo lomphakathi, lapho abantu abavela emphakathini banganikeza khona umbono wabo mayelana nezinga lokusalungiswa. Yonke imibono yomphakathi ibe isicutshungulwa esigabeni esilandelayo sokubeka amazinga asalungiswa kumazinga kazwelonke (SANS).
Cishe izinsuku ezingama-300 ezidingekayo ukuze kubekwe izindinganiso zikazwelonke, kusho uScholtz, nokho, isikhathi esidingekayo kule nqubo sincike ekutholakaleni kocwaningo lomphakathi neminye imibhalo, ukuzibophezela kwamalungu e-TC, ukuqina kwesigaba sophenyo lomphakathi, ukuvumelana ngaphakathi kwe-TC. , nezinye izidingo zokuphatha.
