The Climbing Wall Association publishes standards for the operation of manufactured climbing walls. The committee responsible for developing and maintaining these standards is called the CWA Operations Standards Committee.

CWA operations standards (Industry Practices) are intended to assist owners and operators of climing facilities in the management and operation of those facilities. CWA operations standards relate to actual conditions of use and may address: business or program administration; human resource management; staff training; participant orientation, training, and testing; equipment use; climbing practices; and other information that provides guidance to the industry.

The CWA is currently reviewing and revising its operations standards. The revised standards will supercede the current edition of the Industry Practices.
