The South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) has recently established a National Technical Committee to develop new regulations on vaping products.
At present, the regulations for the production of e-cigarettes in South Africa are still blank, and SABS will develop guidelines and promote standardization in this field, covering e-cigarette products and their components.
The South African Bureau of Standards pointed out that the use of e-cigarettes is increasingly widespread in South Africa's recreational and economic activities. It is estimated that about 350,000 people in South Africa use e-cigarette products, and the sales of e-cigarettes in 2019 were 1.25 billion South African rand (1 South African rand is about 0.43 yuan).
