Seychelles Made is administered by the Enterprise Seychelles Agency (ESA), established under the Seychelles Made Act.
The certification process is supported by inspections, product evaluations, and an independent Seychelles Made Evaluation Committee (SMEC), which assesses applications against established certification criteria for approval.
The Seychelles Made Evaluation Committee (SMEC) is established in accordance with the Seychelles Made Regulations as the independent body responsible for reviewing and assessing certification applications.
The Committee evaluates applications against the prescribed certification criteria and provides recommendations to the Chief Executive Officer of ESA regarding the approval, renewal, suspension, or revocation of certification.
The Committee includes representatives with expertise in:
Accounting and finance
Customs and Harmonised System (HS) Codes
Import information and trade data
Manufacturing and value chain processes
Industrial design assessment
Clear evaluation and certification procedures.
Independent and objective assessment processes.
Structured decision-making and documented evaluations.
Protection of applicant and business information.
The governance framework of Seychelles Made is designed to ensure that certified products are assessed through a transparent, structured, and credible process that supports confidence in locally made products.
