All of our standard systems are tested and approved by a professional structural engineer, in accordance with SANS deemed to satisfy requirements.

South African Law dictates that any balustrade or staircase installation must comply with the South African National Standards, and that in order for a building inspector to issue an occupation certificate, the building inspector needs a certificate stating that a professional structural engineer has tested and approved the balustrade and/or staircase system in accordance with SANS deemed to satisfy requirements. This certificate would be in the form of the FORM 3: Declaration by a competent person appointed to design a component or an element of a system, from the National Building Regulations and Building Standards Act, 1977 (Act No. 103 of 1977). Therefore every Home and Building Owner must insist on an Engineers Certified Form 3 for every new balustrade or staircase system.
