WHAT WE DO
OUR EXPERTISE.
YOUR PEACE OF MIND.
We assist companies that import electric and electronic goods from the Far East with the correct compliance certification for South Africa.
We are also specialised repair assessors and facilitate product performance analysis including product returns analysis – specifically for online sales.
With Advanced Technical Services, you're choosing a partner that brings clarity to complexity and transforms regulatory challenges into competitive advantages. Let us take the helm of your compliance journey, steering your products to market success.
We take care of your certifications. With no mistakes, as quickly as possible, using our network of test laboratories in China, and with a deep understanding of NRCS compliance in South Africa.
At Advanced Technical Services, we understand that the journey from product creation to market presence is fraught with intricate regulatory pathways and unforeseen hurdles. That's why we specialise in navigating the complex application processes that can often intimidate and confuse even the most seasoned businesses.
Don't try this on your own - every mistake adds at least 2 months, meaning it can take up to a year if you do it wrong. With correct documentation, test reports and cerifications, we can get your LOA within 4 months. We do this all the time.
Our comprehensive consultancy services are designed to ensure that your products don't just reach the market, but that they do so legally, with efficiency and compliance at the forefront. We're committed to guiding your products through compliance with a keen eye on avoiding any unexpected costs or delays that can derail your success.
NRCS Compliance
We can assist in the management of your product LOA (Letter of Authority) applications with the NRCS (National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications). LOAs are required by all manufacturers and importers of commodities that fall under the scope of the compulsory specifications (VCs), before the importation and sale of the product.
SAHPRA Compliance
We can assist in the management of your products with regard to compliance with the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority. Licences are required by all importers and resellers of commodities that fall under the scope of SAHPRA, before importation and sale.
ICASA Compliance
We can assist in the management of your products with regard to compliance with the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa. Type Approval is required by all importers and resellers of commodities that fall under the scope of ICASA, before importation and sale.
Product Return Assessments
Returns are an unavoidable part of e-commerce. They can cost a bundle in the short term, and if they are managed poorly, they’ll cost even more in customer trust – and customer lifetime value. We will do a product assessment to assist you in the management of your product returns from supplier, reseller or sales platforms.

DON'T LET YOUR SHIPMENTS GET STUCK!
That's the reality many face without an LOA. Imagine waiting six months, watching as storage fees accumulate, simply because you didn't have the right documentation. It doesn't have to be your reality.
In South Africa, the National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications (NRCS) mandates that all imported goods must comply with specific safety and quality standards. sell any product within the country, and a Letter of Authority (LOA) is non-negotiable. Without an LOA, customs will halt your shipments, leading to prolonged delays and substantial unpacking and storage charges - all at your expense.
