ELSA members that are product designers, managers or distributors must comply with the required elements of the Code (denoted [R]) and are expected to comply with its guidance (denoted [G]). ELSA members that are not product designers, managers or distributors are expected to encourage the Code’s use in the products with which they are
associated. ELSA members certify their compliance with the Code when they apply for membership and annually thereafter. Failure to comply with the Code may ultimately result in the member being asked to resign from the association.
