ATC Affiliations

To ensure that the ATC is always up to speed with any changes that may impact our industry, we have affiliations and associations with a very wide range of organisations. We regularly attend meetings and stay in touch with these organisations so that we are in a position to act instantly and decisively when the need arises. And this need has arisen many, many times since 1993.

As well as the important role we play as Advertising Code Administrators, we also have a close association and act as advisors to Trading Standards. We act as the first point of contact for Trading Standards Officers providing advice on essential oil and aromatherapy products labelling and regulatory control.
