Regulations

Purchase

(1)	The vetting investigating officer may request an applicant to undergo a polygraph examination to determine the reliability of information gathered in terms of regulation 4.

(2)	The polygraph must be used as an investigative aid, and not as conclusive proof of security competence.

(3)	The refusal by an applicant to undergo a polygraph examination does not, in itself, constitute a reason for refusal of a security clearance, instead further investigations must be conducted.

(4)	The Director-General may issue directives on polygraph testing.
