South Africa's final Consumer Protection Act regulations, including country-of-origin and related textile, clothing, footwear, and leather-goods labeling rules.

01
Decision use

Use it for this.

Reading the official Regulation 6 labeling framework and Annexure D scope before checking the exact tariff classification, current standards, amendments, and enforcement position

02
Evidence on record

What the source establishes.

Regulation 6 covers textiles, clothing, shoes, leather goods, and related products listed in Annexure D. It sets country-of-manufacture statements, special statements for imported material finished locally, conformance with referenced national fibre-content and care-labeling standards, remade-goods disclosure, and conditions for a Made in South Africa statement. The National Consumer Commission's 2024/25 annual report documents continuing clothing, textile, footwear, and leather enforcement under section 24, Regulation 6, and related standards.

03
Decision boundary

What this record does not prove.

The final regulation dates from 2011 and references national standards whose full current text and edition may require separate access. This route does not determine tariff classification, reproduce paid standards, approve label artwork, establish every current amendment, or provide legal advice. Confirm the exact product scope, current statute and notices, applicable SABS edition, labeling details, and enforcement position before release.

A reachable official source can verify identity, stated scope, and access. It cannot silently become an audit of workmanship, delivery, labor conditions, or suitability for your project.
