ποΈ SABS vs EN Certification β Whatβs the Difference?
Not all bins are equal. If you're buying for municipal, industrial, or commercial use, certification matters.
Hereβs what you need to know:
πΏπ¦ SABS (South African Bureau of Standards)
βοΈ Locally recognised compliance for quality and safety
βοΈ Applies to materials, durability, load testing, and UV resistance
βοΈ Commonly used for public service tenders and local municipalities
πͺπΊ EN 840 Certification (European Standard)
βοΈ Complies with EN 840-1:2020 / 5:2020 / 6:2020
βοΈ Covers mechanical lifting, strength tests, axle wear, and bin geometry
βοΈ Globally recognised, especially for use with automated bin lifters
βοΈ Ideal for export, private contractors, and industrial-grade use
π‘ Which one do you need?
If you're responding to tenders or working with local councils, go with SABS.
If you're in a private sector, large-scale waste, or automated handling environment, opt for EN-certified bins.
JCEntrep offers both β so you're covered, whichever standard you need.
