BASES is concerned with setting, maintaining and enhancing the professional
and ethical standards of its members who are actively involved in sport
and exercise science.
High standards are promoted in two particular ways:
1. Through the adoption of a strict  BASES
Code of Conduct to which all members must adhere. Violation of this
code of conduct can result in sanctions, including removal of accreditation.
The code of conduct serves to ensure a minimum level of service to individuals
or groups who make use of the range of services offered by sport and exercise
scientists.
2. Through a system of BASES Accreditation,
which serves as a quality assurance mechanism. Accreditation helps to
ensure that the level of service received by a particular client is based
on the best available knowledge and practice.
In order to achieve BASES Accreditation, a member must demonstrate (by
formal application within a peer-review process) his or her competence
to provide an appropriate level of service to client groups.
There are two categories of accreditation:
1. Scientific support
2. Research.
There are four disciplines:
1. Biomechanics
2. Physiology
3. Psychology
4. Interdisciplinary.
All accredited individuals and those undergoing supervised experience
towards accreditation are expected to work only within their areas of
competence. Thus, the system provides potential clients from sport and
exercise groups with the means to ensure that the services they receive
will be both safe and effective as possible.
