Draft OIA Code of Conduct and Code of Practise to be adopted at the AGM 3rd March 2011
The Outdoor Industries Association has created a Code of Conduct which sets out the
requirements on its members.
The Code establishes and maintains standards of behaviour for the Association and its
members, to create high and consistent public trust in the visions, activities, views,
conduct and actions of the Association and its individual members.
It also creates trust between members and with bodies, organisations and businesses
outside of the Outdoor Industries Association.
This Code of Practice is designed to give practical advice and enhance the
high standards of quality and service expected by consumers when purchasing outdoor
clothing, equipment, accessories and related goods or services from Members of the
Outdoor Industries Association (OIA). This code is intended to operate in normal trading
conditions. However, at times, industrial disputes or other circumstances may arise
creating problems beyond the control of members concerned. Association members are
required to honour the provisions and spirit of the code.
The code sets out guidelines which reflect good trading practice and provides for the
efficient resolution of differences between consumers and association members.
