SANS 289:2006 Labelling requirements for prepackaged products (prepackages) and general requirements for the sale of goods subject to legal metrology control
This standard covers requirements for the labelling of prepackaged products with respect to
a) the identity of the product,
b) the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, distributor, importer or retailer, and
c) the net quantity of the product.
It also covers general requirements for the sale of goods and prescribed sizes in which certain products are packaged.
NOTE Other legislation might exist for labelling requirements for reasons of health, safety or tax, or for other purposes such as date limit for sale or use, storage temperature, etc.; however, such labelling should be taken into account as appropriate. Declarations of ingredients on package labels or nutritional information on food products, whether compulsory or not, are also not covered by these requirements.
