SEMI will not accredit publishers or associate publishers, sales, advertising, PR, marketing, technical support staff, consultants and exhibiting company personnel.
Applicants for accreditation, who show official documents (original) of membership of a recognized press organizations, associations or federations may be required to show proof of professional status, including a business card with an editorial title or publication masthead, in case it is not apparent that they act in an editorial position or/and report in one of the fields as stated above.
