by the DEL.
2. Equipment and Calibration
o AIAs must own or have access to the necessary, high-quality, and
regularly calibrated equipment required to conduct thorough investigations
in the context of platinum refineries.
o Calibration certificates for equipment should be up to date and aligned
with national and international standards.
3. Compliance with Legal Standards
o Applicants must demonstrate familiarity with and compliance with local,
national, and international occupational health and safety regulations and
standards.
o AIAs must be able to apply the legislation effectively, such as the
Occupational Health and Safety Act, specifically the regulations regarding
hazardous chemical substances and exposure.
4. Accreditation and Certification
o AIAs must be accredited by recognized bodies such as the South African
National Accreditation System (SANAS) or an equivalent international
body.
