| (b) | The result is multiplied by the corresponding indicator weighting points to obtain a score for that indicator. |
| (c) | Where the enterprise attains a score in excess of the indicator weighting points, the enterprise shall only be entitled to the corresponding weighting points. |
| (d) | The score for an element is the sum of indicator scores under that element. |
| (e) | A Measured Enterprise’s overall BEE score will determine its BEE status and BEE procurement recognition level. |
