Calculation of Market Access Fees
From 2022 to 2024 the costs for SXC to provide accredited certification services to external
jurisdictions such as the EU (where Australian-EU Recognition does not cover) rose sharply
to the point where SXC was making unsustainable losses in offering its services to those
markets at cut price rates.
In order to continue to provide access to these markets, SXC has developed the following approach to
spread the accreditation costs out evenly and fairly to all operators wishing access to those markets.
On 1 July every year, SXC will forecast the accreditation exepenses for the next financial year,
based on past information and fee schedules given to us by our accreditation bodies, and divide these
costs evenly amoungst all operators who wish to have access to that market. As the number of operators
increases for a market, the associated Market Access fee for all operators reduces.
For example, if SXC forecasts the average annual accreditation expenses for a market at $10,000, and there are 25
operators SXC certifies to that market, the Market Access fee for all operators accessing that market is $400.
