2021 International Standard for Code Compliance by Signatories (ISCCS)

The Code makes WADA responsible for monitoring and enforcing compliance by Signatories with the Code and the International Standards. The Code also requires Signatories to report on their compliance to WADA. The purpose of the International Standard for Code Compliance by Signatories (ISCCS) is to ensure that strong, Code-compliant anti-doping rules and programs are applied and enforced consistently and effectively across all sports and all countries, so that clean athletes can have confidence that there is fair competition on a level playing field, and public confidence in the integrity of sport can be maintained. The ISCCS outlines:

• Code Signatories’ rights and responsibilities;
• the ways WADA supports Signatories in achieving, maintaining and, where applicable, regaining Code compliance; and
• a range of graded, predictable and proportionate sanctions for cases of non-compliance by Signatories; and, a process for determining non-compliance and consequences.

The current version of the ISCCS went into force on 1 April January 2021.
