| (1.1) | The preamble, section 2 and section 39 of the Liquor Act, 59 of 2003 ("Liquor Act, 2003") set the tone for Norms and Standards for the liquor industry.

| (1.2) | The Norms and Standards were published in the following government Gazette no: 307110 and 37322 respectively for further public consultation. After the consultation period, inputs from all stakeholders were considered and incorporated into the final document where applicable. Following this process the Norms and Standards were presented before NLPC on 5 September 2014 and were adopted for implementation. |
| (1.3) | To the extent that the Norms and Standards relate to matters that the current legislative framework does not allow, the members of the NLPC will proceed to propose amendments to the respective legislation to achieve consistency in respect of the application of the Norms and Standards. |
| (1.4) | All other Norms and Standards within the current legislative framework must be implemented through the review of regulations, rules and conditions of licences. |
