DEPARTMENT OF TRADE AND INDUSTRY
1. By virtue of the powers vested in me in terms of sections 9(1) and 14 (2)

(a) Confirm that the Amended Codes of Good Practice (Notice 1019,
Gazette No 36928 of 11 October 2013 as amended by Notice 403,

ending on or before 30 April 2015 can be conducted using the old
Codes of Good Practice (Notice 112, Gazette No 29617 of 9 February

ending after 1 May 2015 must be conducted using the Amended
Codes of Good Practice, with the exception of the Sector Codes.
