Each form of participation has a distinct purpose.

Support defined questions under protocol, conflict, publication, data-access and integrity controls.
03
Institutional Education
Commission role-specific capability programs without influencing independent credentials or certification.
04
Scientific Meetings
Participate through disclosed sponsorship, exhibits or clearly identified promotional forums.
05
Certification Application
Apply under the same published scope, evidence requirements and decision controls available to other eligible applicants.
06
Mark License
Use an authorized mark only after certification and only within approved scope, wording, territory and validity.
Prospective Applicants
Prepare for evidence, traceability and ongoing disclosure.
Organizations should be prepared to disclose ownership and responsible contacts, product and facility identity, regulatory and market status, quality-system evidence, material claims, testing, suppliers, manufacturing controls, complaints, recalls and significant changes relevant to the applicable program.
Pre-application guidance may explain program requirements but cannot predict, negotiate or guarantee a certification outcome.
Scientific Independence
Commercial participation does not confer decision-making authority.
01
Fees
Commercial terms are independent of decision outcomes and do not reward reviewers for approvals.

Influence
Sponsors and applicants do not appoint decision-makers for their own matters or purchase standards votes.
03
Communication
Certification scope cannot be expanded through packaging, advertising, influencers, websites or implied therapeutic language.
