Guidelines for the Use of Comparative Advertising Guidelines for the Use of Research and Survey Data to Support Comparative Advertising Claims
Advertising Standards Canada first published the Guidelines for the Use of Comparative Advertising and Guidelines for the Use of Research and Survey Data to Support Comparative Advertising Claims in 1982. They were designed to assist advertisers to develop comparative advertising that was consistent with the provisions of the Canadian Code of Advertising Standards. The Code is the advertising industry’s principal instrument of advertising self-regulation.
