Oilwatch Transformer Services Retains SANAS Accreditation Through to 2031 After Rigorous 2026 Audit.
Oilwatch Transformer Services has successfully maintained its South African National Accreditation System (SANAS) accreditation, confirming continued compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 requirements for laboratory competence through to 2031. This achievement follows a comprehensive and intensive surveillance and re-accreditation audit conducted in February 2026.
The audit, described as a major milestone for the organization, assessed all aspects of laboratory operations, including technical competency, quality management systems, traceability, and adherence to internationally recognized testing standards for transformer oil analysis. Despite the scale and depth of the evaluation, Oilwatch demonstrated sustained conformity and a strong culture of quality assurance.
The successful outcome reinforces Oilwatch’s position as a trusted and accredited testing partner in the transformer oil industry, providing critical services such as dissolved gas analysis, moisture testing, dielectric strength testing, furanic and PCB analysis. Maintaining SANAS accreditation ensures that all results issued by the laboratory remain traceable, reliable, and globally recognized.
With accreditation secured through to 2031, Oilwatch Transformer Services continues to strengthen its commitment to technical excellence, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement in support of the power and electrical infrastructure sectors.
