South African Standards Name Change

The South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) recently changed its name to Standards South Africa (STANSA). Where previously the documents had been titled SABS XXXX (eg. SABS1234) – this has now changed to SANS 1234. SANS stands for “South African National Standard”. Two documents are being developed at the moment:
– SANS 1526, Specification for Thermoplastic Sheeting for Use as a Geomembrane ( later this year)
– SANS 10409, Code of Practice for Design, Selection and Installation of Geomembranes (to be published early next year)
