What to check before placing an order — written by BestDealz sourcing analysts.
Choose a laboratory instrument by matching test needs, compliance requirements and after-sales support before you compare delivery route or landed cost.
Check the electrical requirement, installation footprint and environmental conditions before ordering. Many lab instruments need stable power, controlled temperature and specific ventilation or water access.
Request the technical datasheet, operating manual, calibration or test documentation, warranty terms and packing details. For imported units, also confirm SARS clearance handling and what customs paperwork is included.
If you need fast deployment or easier support, Class A local SA stock is usually the safer option. If specification and landed cost matter more than lead time, Class B can work well because customs and VAT are included.
Yes, if your procurement policy or tender process requires it, ask for BEE documentation early. It is also worth confirming whether local service partners or fulfilment under Class C meet your vendor onboarding requirements.
