The constitution set out the standards of proficiency for safe and effective practice that SNDA expects Accredited Dietitians in Singapore (ADS) and Accredited Nutritionists in Singapore (ANS) to meet. The standards explain the key obligations expected by SNDA of each Dietitian and Nutritionist. These standards are mainly applicable to all Dietitians and Nutritionists regardless of their area, setting or focus of practice. The broad standard statements can be used as a framework for the development of standards at a more specific level.
