Standards and guidelines
The IAB, as a trade body for the online industry, works with its various members to compile best practice guidelines to encourage more efficient workflow practices, tackle barriers to trade and to continuously raise professionalism.
The IAB does not police the industry, as such these standards and guidelines are voluntary, but we are committed to maintaining the integrity of the internet as an advertising medium. Therefore, we strongly advise that the marketing community adhere to a policy of self-regulation.
