Know what must be proven.
Clarify intended use, loads, interfaces and the applicable standards or compliance requirements before fabrication decisions harden into steel.
02 / COMPLIANCE
PPWE / SABS REGISTERED
Compliance starts before inspection.
PPWE is SABS registered and treats compliance as an engineering input. Define applicable requirements early, control the fabrication story, then arrive at inspection with fewer unknowns.

UNKNOWN VARIABLESREDUCED EARLY
Resolve expensive questions on paper.
Geometry, access, joint placement, material choices and build sequence are easier to adjust before cutting begins.
Keep the build traceable.
Fit-up, workmanship and deviations are controlled as the job progresses, rather than hidden until final inspection.
Inspect the result against the brief.
Review the finished item against defined requirements and surface issues while there is still a practical route to correction or inspection preparation.
Make the inspection story coherent.
Prepare the relevant build information and physical item so an inspector or approval body can assess the work against the applicable requirements.
IMPORTANT
SABS registration is not the same as authority to issue SABS approvals.
PPWE is SABS registered. Product-specific approvals, tests, certificates, documentation and inspection steps remain subject to the applicable SABS standards, schemes and approval processes.
