Accreditation Details

As of 17 June 2009 19 BEE Verification Agents have been accredited by SANAS (South African National Accreditation System). SANAS are responsible for ensuring that BEE verification is impartial and reliable.

If the verification agency you have used is not one of the accredited ones, it does not mean that your BEE certificate is now worthless. There is a transition period during which certificates from agencies still awaiting accreditation are still valid. To find out how this works click here.
