2. Mandatory industry codes of practice – Codes of practice can be mandatory or voluntary, and they offer consumers a minimal level of protection.
3. Voluntary industry codes of practice – Voluntary codes are a type of self-regulation in the industry. They may be sponsored by a specific industry association or in collaboration with a government body.
