South Africa’s Electrical Safety Association
Safehouse brings together electrical industry businesses committed to safer, compliant products and responsible industry practices. We support manufacturers, importers, retailers, wholesalers and other industry participants through technical guidance, self-regulation support and industry representation.
What the Safehouse Mark Represents
The Safehouse Mark identifies a business as a Safehouse member committed to electrical product safety, compliance and accountability.
The Mark does not replace NRCS approval, SABS certification or any product-specific documentation. It shows that the company behind the product has made a public commitment to responsible industry practices.
