A New Version of the Code of Ethics Reflects High Standards of Operators' Self-regulation
In the direct selling industry, the Code of Ethics is guided by the spirit of self-regulation of the industry. The fairness and ethics of direct selling activities are maintained by protecting the rights of the consumers and distributors, while maintaining a sound order of the direct selling market as the primary implementation objective. We believe that this is also a code that should be jointly referenced and complied with by practitioners in the direct selling industry.The nature and spirit of a high degree of self-regulation remain unchanged in the amendments to the Code of Ethics. However,the framework of the Code of Ethics is further streamlined by consolidating procedural details with the Enforcement Rules. In addition, the complaint handling procedure is singled out for separate formulation of the Rules for Handling Complaints under the Code of Ethics. The purpose is to deal with complaint cases arising from violations of the Code of Ethics between direct selling companies, distributors and consumers, and ensure rapid acceptance of complaints and proposal of solutions within a reasonable period of time. Through an open and transparent handling procedure, the awareness and efficiency in handling Code of Ethics issues can be further enhanced.
It is expected that when the Code of Ethics is amended, the direct selling industry will become a benchmark for high moral standards in the market through continued improvements and compliance with the highest business ethics and self-regulation requirements, and elimination of many grey areas in the eyes of the public. This version of amendment will be proposed and resolved in the DSA Convention on December 22 this year.
Modifications of the DSA's Official Website to Catch up with the Digital Trend and Provide New Gener
2017 is the year of content marketing. It is no longer sufficient for a media platform to simply post articles, unlike in the past as the types of information and subscribers' habits for accessing the Internet have changed. The use of official websites and social media pictures and articles, which the public are familiar with, are expected to create the most eye-catching "content marketing" as the core promotional effort. The DSA has also caught up with the digital convergence trend by optimizing and modifying its official website, targeting viewers between 25 and 45,an age group with the greatest potential. Through webpage planning which is more relevant and friendly to viewers, the viewers' interest in browsing the web pages is whetted, and focused information is more readily searched and reviewed by the people. It is expected that micro-novels, business ethics videos such as DSA Talks and monthly featured columns, which are
popular media materials for the digital generation, are expected to be gradually added in the second half of the year. The new contents will be presented in a manner which is more friendly and intuitive but less cumbersome for browsing so that the DSA's characteristics are even more extensively known.DSA's official website
New Product Labeling Requirements Differentiating Health Foods from Drugs
To provide the consumers with clear information to prevent them from misunderstanding the health promotion efficacies as medicinal efficacies, the Ministry of Health and Welfare announced on August 30 that the Additional Labeling Items Required for Health Foods will be formulated. The focus of such requirements is that a warning which differentiates "drugs" or "medical efficacies" should be separately specified based on different types of health foods. In addition, a "dosage warning" should be included in product labels. The draft requirements will go into effect on January 1, 2018. If contents that shall be additionally specified under the Additional Labeling Items Required for Health Foods are capsules and tablets, they shall be specified that "this product is not a drug and is only used for health promotion; and a patient should still seek medical attention." In case of other types of products, it shall be specified that "this product is only used for health promotion and has no medical efficacy." In addition, for a dosage warning, the expression "Please consume based on the recommended dosage and excessive consumption may not bring any benefit" shall be specified.
