Industry Cooperation
Institutional Cooperation Within the CIFA Framework
Institutional cooperation in
CIFA system
Industry Cooperation describes the institutional collaboration between CIFA and companies, organizations or industrial actors related to cosmetic and aesthetic professions.
​
This form of cooperation is not for commercial marketing, but for the structural integration of economic actors into CIFA's international reference system.
Purpose of Industry Cooperation
The Industry Cooperation aims to facilitate professional and institutional exchange between CIFA and relevant market players.
She creates:
​
-
structured dialogue
-
institutional classification of economic perspectives
-
Transparency between market, standards and education
-
long-term orientation within the global framework
Cooperation always takes place in accordance with the principles of independence and neutrality.
Role of cooperating organizations
​
Organizations within the framework of Industry Cooperation contribute their professional, structural or market-related perspective to the institutional dialogue.
​
They do not influence standards, certification decisions or recognition procedures and act independently of operational or sales-related interests.
Distinction from Certification and Membership
Industry Cooperation is clearly distinct from:
-
Certification
(institutional evaluation and recognition) -
Institutional Membership
(formal affiliation)
Industry Cooperation does not represent a certification, an award, or a membership in the strict sense, but rather a structured form of cooperation.
Independence and integrity
​
Within the framework of Industry Cooperation, CIFA maintains a clear institutional distance from individual economic interests.
​
Cooperations do not establish preferential treatment or influence on decision-making processes within the CIFA system.
​
This separation is an essential prerequisite for the credibility and international acceptance of CIFA.
International perspective
Industry Cooperation takes into account different economic, regulatory and cultural frameworks at the international level.
​
It enables an objective exchange without influencing national markets, regulatory responsibilities or competitive structures.
Collaboration requires clarity.
Clarity protects integrity.
