Yes, it was introduced with this document, http://www.ameu.co.za/Portals/16/NRS 048-9 published 2017 2_0.pdf (PDF)

As per the edition, the 1st edition was published in 2010. It is planning since 2015.

Now there are eight stages of Eskom misery

It says that after 2015, Eskom and the municipalities identified the need to extend the number of stages of load shedding “and the national code was subsequently updated after significant engagement with stakeholders in 2016/17. This has been published as NRS048-9 Edition 2”.

Energy regulator Nersa must still approve NRS048-9 (Edition 2) as a regulatory requirement, Eskom said.

“At a Grid Code Advisory Committee in early 2018 Nersa supported Eskom’s engagement with municipalities to implement the additional stages as part of its disaster contingency planning in terms of the Act”, Eskom said.
