Compliance & Enforcement

In South Africa, SANS 10114-1 provides the technical framework for workplace lighting design. Department of Employment and Labour / SABS monitors compliance through workplace safety inspections under Occupational Health and Safety Act 85/1993 / SANS 10114. Commercial building permits increasingly require lighting design documentation, particularly for projects involving international financing or sustainability certification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. In South Africa, SANS 10114-1 is adopted as the technical standard for workplace lighting. Department of Employment and Labour / SABS references this standard in its enforcement of Occupational Health and Safety Act 85/1993 / SANS 10114. Commercial building permit requirements are increasingly requiring lighting design documentation that demonstrates compliance with the standard.

Department of Employment and Labour / SABS oversees workplace safety compliance, including lighting requirements, under Occupational Health and Safety Act 85/1993 / SANS 10114. Building control authorities require lighting design submissions for commercial and public building permits. For internationally financed or certified projects, third-party verification against SANS 10114-1 is standard practice.

Momik reads your Revit model room by room, automatically applies SANS 10114-1 illuminance targets for each space type, calculates the correct fixture placement, quantity, and layout, and generates a fully compliant lighting design — entirely within Revit. No manual lux calculations, no spreadsheets, no cross-referencing the norm tables. Typical projects are completed in under five minutes.
