News and official positions

Official statements, programme notices and authorised comment

Media enquiries

Comment is provided through authorised channels

Requests should identify the organisation, journalist or producer, subject, intended use, deadline and whether comment is sought for attribution. Technical questions may require review before an authorised response can be issued.

Only statements published by the Association or provided by an authorised representative should be attributed as an official WNA position. Personal views of members, participants or contributors are not Association positions unless expressly stated.

Corrections

Accuracy is maintained after publication

Material factual errors are reviewed promptly and corrected with due regard to the significance of the change, the reach of the original communication and the need to preserve an accurate record.

A correction does not retrospectively alter a controlled certification decision, standard or register status, which is governed through its own authorised process.
