The National Regulator for Compulsory Specification is a government regulator within South Africa's Department of Trade, Industry and Competition, based in Pretoria, Gauteng. It was established on 1 September 2008 under the National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications Act, No. 5 of 2008. The agency's remit centers on compulsory specifications for products, overseeing compliance with regulatory standards. In December 2023, NRCS announced a nationwide recall of Econo Cement version 32.5N due to concerns about its suitability for constructing homes, malls, and public facilities. The recall demonstrates the regulator's role in monitoring product safety and enforcing standards within its jurisdiction.
