Why Choose a VASA Accredited Member?

When choosing a vending company, it is important to know that you are dealing with a professional and reputable service provider.

Choosing a VASA Accredited Member provides an additional level of confidence that the company is committed to recognised industry standards, professional conduct and ongoing compliance.

All Full and Accredited VASA Members are authorised to display the AVA (Accredited VASA Member) logo, which confirms their commitment to and adherence to the VASA:

  • Constitution
  • Customer Charter
  • Code of Ethics

The VASA Quality System

The VASA Quality System provides a structured framework that enables Accredited Members to:

  • Demonstrate that their services are provided in accordance with defined, recognised and controlled standards.
  • Meet and maintain customer requirements and standards.
  • Comply with applicable regulatory and industry requirements.
  • Maintain consistent and professional standards throughout their operations.

Accreditation Means Ongoing Compliance

VASA Accreditation is not simply a once-off certification. Accredited Members are required to continually maintain the standards and requirements established by VASA.

Accreditation is subject to:

  • Continual and documented in-house monitoring of compliance and performance.
  • An annual formal audit to verify that the required standards are being maintained.
  • Ongoing compliance with VASA requirements.

Where a company fails to maintain the required standards, VASA Accreditation may be withdrawn.

This ongoing monitoring and independent external audit process helps ensure that the standards associated with VASA Accreditation remain meaningful and are not merely a badge of membership.

Protect Yourself - Check Before You Commit

Customers are encouraged to verify the VASA Accreditation status of any company claiming to be a VASA Accredited Member.

Before entering into an agreement, purchasing or renting vending equipment, or appointing a vending service provider, you can contact VASA to confirm that the company's accreditation is valid and current.

Look for the AVA logo. Check the accreditation. Choose with confidence.
