Participation in the development of ICC texts

Diverse companies, business organisations and stakeholder groups participate in the development of ICC codes and rules and other texts to ensure that these take into account the views and perspectives of relevant business stakeholders.

ICC is the sole copyright holder of such texts, which are “collective works” initiated and drafted under the authority and control of ICC. Participation in their development does not give rise to any rights in the texts for contributors.

When contributing to developing an ICC text, participants agree to respect the above copyright policy as well as the confidentiality of ICC working documents, which should be used only for the purpose of drafting and/or reviewing the texts and not further disseminated.
