Certification Symbol Placement:
- The Certification Symbol means that the business or product(s) or service(s) is approved by Sattvik Council of Australia. You can see it on packaging, advertisements, and websites. It does not dictates that such product or service or business is being promoted by SCA.

- SCA requires that the symbol must be used as it is provided with no change in its artwork.
In case of violation of any of these rules, an immediate request to correct the problem will be made to fix the issues. If the Certification Symbol is not presented within 30 days then SCA has right to terminate the contract and prohibit the use of the certificate.

Additionally, the licensee is required to notify all distributors, advertisers, and clients who may have non-compliant Certified units and related advertising displaying the Certification Symbol right away.
