6、Reference is made in 6.2.1, 6.2.2 and 6.2.3 to an “accredited body“. In South Africa this accredited body refers to MERSETA, one of 23 Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETAs) established in South Africa in terms of the Skills Development Act, 1998 (Act No. 97 of 1998). The MERSETA is the S

7、ETA for Manufacturing, Engineering and Related Services, covering the metal and engineering, auto manufacturing, motor retail and components, new tyre and plastics industries. Reference is made in 12.11 and 13.6 to the “relevant national legislation“. In South Africa this means the Occupational Heal

8、th and Safety Act, 1993 (Act No. 85 of 1993) (as amended from time to time). Refrigerant CFC R-12 has been banned in the Republic of South Africa since March 2004. The only refrigerant used for automotive air-conditioning systems is pure (no blends) R-134a. SANS 10250:2010 Edition 2 1 Contents Page
