Water Wheel March/April 2020: Sanitation

Abstract

SANITATION The inaugural SANS 30500 awareness workshop was held on November 19, 2019 in Pretoria. The workshop targeted policymakers in the South African national government departments (including, among others, the Department of Water and Sanitation, department of trade and industry, and the Department of Health) as well as other national bodies such as the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) and the national regulator for compulsory standards (NRC). The purpose of the awareness workshops is to familiarise stakeholders within the sanitation sector with the SANS 30500 standard, provide insight into how the standard can impact and benefit the sanitation value chain and industry, and to create a forum where the views and expectations of stakeholders can be shared and discussed.
