STANDARDS.

Starting back in 2017, the TSASA started the procedure to adopt some International thermal spray standards into South African Standards to ensure that local contractors could afford to buy these standards. The local prices are considerably discounted when compared to the original standard.

I am happy to report that earlier in 2024 the following three standards were adopted. Please follow the links below and purchase you own copies.
