Institutional discipline
Independence is a continuing obligation
The Association may work with public bodies, academic institutions, professional communities, civil-society organisations and responsible enterprises. Participation or financial support does not purchase technical influence, certification outcome or institutional endorsement.
Material collaborations are subject to purpose, conflict, attribution and communications controls. The Association retains authority over its standards, decisions, marks and official positions.
Participation
Contribute through an appropriate institutional route
Experts and organisations may engage through consultations, professional programmes, technical work or formal partnership proposals.
