How to tell if a company is a BHTA member

Last Updated on 26/01/2026 by Sarah Sarsby

Buying from a British Healthcare Trades Association (BHTA) ensures that the company you’re buying from adheres to the BHTA’s strict Code of Practice, which is approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI).

This means BHTA members commit to providing a level of service above and beyond that of their legal obligations, so you can expect to receive expert advice, excellent customer service, and never be pressure sold any products or services.

There are several ways to identify whether a company is a BHTA member:

• Look for the BHTA logo on their shop window, company vehicle, or website.
• Ask to see their BHTA Membership Certificate.
• Check our member directory. This contains an up-to-date list of all our members.

Warning: A company could fraudulently display the BHTA logo on their website, even if they are not a member. To ensure that a company is a member, the BHTA logo on the company’s website should be clickable and take you through to the CTSI member verification page to confirm that the company is a member.

The CTSI member verification page looks like the below:
