Membership must be described accurately

Membership belongs to the legal organisation or entities named in the Association record for the stated period. An individual participates as an authorised representative; a subsidiary, brand, distributor or product is not automatically covered.

A factual text statement can identify the legal organisation and current relationship: “Example Manufacturing AG is a member of the International Association of Health Product Manufacturers (IAHPM).” Use a clearly fictitious or actual authorised name as appropriate; never copy the example name into a real statement.

Do not say or imply that IAHPM approved, tested, certified, registered, recommended or endorsed a product, manufacturing site, service or claim. Do not place the Association name next to a product in a way that turns organisational membership into a quality or conformity mark.

Using the IAHPM logo as a membership identifier requires written permission for the named entity, medium and period. Related companies need their own confirmed coverage before using a membership statement.

A reader can request verification of a membership statement. An authorised member representative can request correction of the organisational record; suspected misuse can be reported separately.
