Sector codes
Know exactly what applies to your industry
Different industries follow different B-BBEE rules. Sector codes define how compliance is measured in your industry — getting yours right avoids costly mistakes.
The essentials
What are sector codes?
Sector codes are tailored scorecards that set the B-BBEE measurement criteria for a specific industry, adapted from the generic Codes of Good Practice.
They matter because your industry's code determines which elements are weighted, what thresholds apply, and how your recognition level is calculated. Verifying against the wrong code can invalidate a certificate.
Why they matter
Your sector code sets the scorecard your verification is measured against.
What they define
Weightings, targets and thresholds specific to your industry.
What to check
That your agency verifies against the correct code for your business.
