Do BAQA standards replace local laws or licences?

BAQA standards, membership, accreditation, certification and validation are private BAQA services supporting professional good practice. BAQA is not a government regulator and does not grant a legal right to practise.

Use the Body Art Licensing Guide to find official starting sources, then confirm the exact procedure and premises location with the responsible authority. Mandatory local requirements take priority over BAQA guidance.
