SANAS ACCREDITATION WITHDRAWAL

Writer's picture: Newsletter EditorNewsletter Editor

The South African National Accreditation System (SANAS) plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of B-BBEE (Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment) certifications by regularly updating the list of accredited B-BBEE Rating Agencies. When an agency loses its SANAS accreditation—whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or due to expiry—this information is made public to help businesses and individuals identify potentially invalid B-BBEE credentials.

From time to time, the South African National Accreditation System (SANAS) publishes a list of B-BBEE Rating Agencies that no longer have SANAS accreditation due to it being withdrawn voluntary or involuntary, or due to its expiry. The core aim of publishing the list is to assist those receiving B-BBEE Certificates in identifying invalid credentials. 

 

This list will further assist B-BBEE Rating Agencies when verifying the element of Enterprise and Supplier Development. It is vital to take note of the date of withdrawal or expiry as a B-BBEE Certificate will remain valid for 12 Months if issued before the date that a B-BBEE Rating Agency lost its accreditation.

 

B-BBEE Certificates issued by SANAS Accredited B-BBEE Rating Agencies must contain the unique SANAS Accreditation Symbol to ensure that the B-BBEE Verification Certificate is valid.

 

B-BBEE Verification Services are available to assist members to ensure that they understand the requirements for Valid B-BBEE Verification Certificates.
