A claim a provider makes about its own residence in relation to the standard, without Roch Dog authorisation.
Self-declaration is not permitted. Reading the standard confers no right to claim any association with it, and there is no self-declared tier. A provider may not state or imply that a property is built to, designed to, aligned with, following, or operating to the standard, and may not describe it as certified or display the mark, without a current Roch Dog authorisation.
Until a property is authorised by Roch Dog, the provider may state only facts about its own dog policy, with no reference to the standard, its name, or its marks.
