The SAFEhouse Association is a non-profit, industry organisation committed
to the fight against sub-standard, unsafe electrical products.
After 4 years of investigation and legal procedure, in a recent
landmark case Mr Abdool Kadar Omar Khan was convicted in the
Specialised Commercial Crimes Court for importing
nearly
124 000 counterfeit earth leakage devices and circuit breakers
.
Not only are the products counterfeit, they also do not meet
compulsory specifications and are unsafe.
Miniature circuit breakers are
essential safety devices
.
These counterfeit products installed in buildings will not
perform their intended function.
