Frequently asked
Does this cover both retailers and wholesalers?
Yes. The engine separates the site licence from the activity licence, so a retailer, a wholesaler and a depot each see the licence conditions and returns that apply to them under the Petroleum Products Act.
Does TefCo apply for my licence?
No. TefCo is a compliance management platform — it tracks the licences, conditions, tests and returns, holds the evidence and warns you before anything lapses. Applications are made to the Controller of Petroleum Products by you or your advisor.
Where does NERSA fit in?
If you operate storage, a loading facility, a pipeline or an embedded generation plant, those NERSA licences and registrations sit alongside your DMPR licences in the same register with their own renewal and reporting dates.
How is it priced?
R399/month as a Single Specialist engine alongside CIPC, SARS, POPIA and HR, or included in Full Stack Specialist at R1,200/month.
