The following list of standards are produced by the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS). This is a short list of the standards applicable to refrigeration and air-conditioning installations and is by no means comprehensive. In South Africa, we also make use of standards produced by American Society of Heating Refrigeration and Airconditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).
