Independent flame-propagation and toxicity testing of mining conveyor belting to SANS 971-2013 — the evidence your safety file needs.
Every test is run to the referenced South African standard and documented for procurement and inspection.
Flame-propagation testing to SANS 971-2013 (as amended) to confirm belting resists fire spread under defined conditions.
Verification of smoke and toxic-gas emission so personnel are protected from lethal by-products if ignition occurs.
Standards-aligned certification and procurement auditing, ready to drop straight into your mine's safety file.
South African mining law requires fire-retardant conveyor belting in confined spaces — and requires you to keep the test records to prove it. Here's where the obligation comes from.
MHSA Regulation 8.9(3) places a duty on the employer to prevent persons being exposed to flames, fumes or smoke from a conveyor belt fire.
The Mandatory COP for Fire Prevention (June 2025) requires all belts in confined spaces — fiery and non-fiery mines — to be fire-retardant and tested to SANS 971-2013.
Employers must hold records of procurement, toxicity, flame-resistance and propagation testing — available for inspection at any time.
A straightforward path from submitting belting to receiving inspection-ready documentation.
Send belting specimens or arrange collection. We confirm scope against the applicable standard.
Flame propagation, surface burn and toxicity tests run under SANAS-accredited methods.
Results assessed against SANS 971-2013 pass/fail criteria with full data capture.
You receive certification and records formatted for your mine's safety file.
Get your conveyor belts assessed for flame propagation and toxicity — and walk away with the records your safety file needs.
