Guidelines

GUIDELINES TO USE THE PIANC NAME AND LOGOS 1. PIANC, having its registered office at 1000 Brussels, Boulevard du Roi Albert II 20, 11th floor, box 3, and is enrolled with the register of legal entities under the number 0429.863.418 (‘PIANC’), expects from its members a responsible use of its name and logos. It always needs to be ensured that PIANC is seen as an independent, non-political and non-profit organisation. 2. Non-members and Individual Members are not allowed to use PIANC’s name and/or logos. National Sections and Qualifying Members are allowed to use the PIANC name and the general PIANC logo. Platinum Partners and Corporate Members of PIANC may use PIANC’s name in accordance with these guidelines. Two new combined logos were created to visualise the Platinum Partnership and the Corporate Membership. 3. PIANC is an independent association and does not endorse or promote products of its members. Example: Platinum Partners and Corporate Members can show the PIANC logo and name on an advertisement, but they are not allowed to indicate that PIANC does in any way support the advertised product. Furthermore, it is not allowed to cite a PIANC report to make a sales argument. 4. If Platinum Partners/Corporate Members organise an event together with any official PIANC body, the use of name and logo are mandatory. However, it needs to be ensured that the use of name and logo is limited to the event. By no means should the impression be created that PIANC is not an independent association. 5. Platinum Partners/Corporate Members are strongly encouraged to use the combined logo as indicated in point 2 within their communication to show their connection to PIANC and to help the association to increase its visibility, under the conditions of point 7. Examples: • International events to reach out to a broad range of potential members/supporters • Company website with a link to PIANC website • Communication on Social media with a link to PIANC Social media channels • Print advertisement 1 6. The PIANC name and logo may only be used in communication tied to the associations aim. Example: National Sections, Qualifying Members, Platinum Partners/Corporate Members may use the PIANC name and logo to communicate a new project achievement but may not use it if communicating their support of a political party or a sales message. 7. Platinum Partners and Corporate Members are asked to send their communication material (see examples point 5) when it contains the PIANC name or logo to PIANC HQ for prior written approval. Material should be sent timely, allowing for a minimum of three working days for approval through PIANC. National Sections and Qualifying Members do not need to seek approval. 8. Product Type Approvals (Type Examination Certificates for manufacturer’s products issued by a certifying company), or any other certificates, are not issued by PIANC, as PIANC is not a certifying body. It is not permitted to use the phrase ‘PIANC Type Approval’, or any similar phrases. It can only be said ‘Type Approval according to PIANC’ referring to the results of PIANC WG 211 ‘Guidelines for the Design of Fender Systems’. 9. These guidelines are violated if the PIANC name and/or logo is used • without prior and written approval by PIANC HQ as defined under point 7 • to endorse or promote a product • in a political sense • for a product type certificate in the wording ‘PIANC Type Approval’, or any similar way • if non-Platinum Partners or non-Corporate Members use the combined logos • if non-members use the PIANC name and logo Violation of these Guidelines will result in corrective action, including possible termination of membership, and may also have legal consequences. 2 Saatja: Kaidi Katus <[email protected]> Saadetud: 09.06.2020 09:12 Adressaat: Signe Paevere <[email protected]> Teema: Ed: Guidelines for the use of the PIANC name and logo Manused: image001.jpg; image002.jpg; image003.jpg; image004.png; Guidelines to use the PIANC name and logos April 2020.pdf Saatja: Leen Weltens [mailto:[email protected]] Saatmisaeg: Monday, 8 June, 2020 15:49 Adressaat: Leen Weltens <[email protected]> Koopia: Anna-Lena Pahl <[email protected]>; Geert Van Cappellen <[email protected]>; Esteban Lefler, Francisco <[email protected]>; An Van Schel <[email protected]>; Sabine Vandevelde <[email protected]> Teema: Guidelines for the use of the PIANC name and logo Dear First Delegates and Secretaries of PIANC, We would like to inform you that this morning, we released the ?Guidelines to use the PIANC name and logos?, which have recently been approved by the ExCom and we sent it to PIANC?s Platinum Partners and Corporate Members.
