AMERICAN SOCIETY OF HOME INSPECTORS®
CODE OF ETHICS
|
Honesty, justice, and courtesy form a moral philosophy which, associated with mutual interest among
people, constitutes the foundation of ethics. The members should recognize such a standard, not in passive
observance, but as a set of dynamic principles guiding their conduct. It is their duty to practice the profession
according to this code of ethics.
As the keystone of professional conduct is integrity, the members will discharge their duties with fidelity to the
public, their clients, and with fairness and impartiality to all. They should uphold the honor and dignity of their
profession and avoid association with any enterprise of questionable character, or apparent conflict of interest.
1. The member will express an opinion only when it is based on practical
experience and honest conviction.
2. The member will always act in good faith toward each client.
3. The member will not disclose any information concerning the results of
the inspection without the approval
of the clients or their representatives.
4. The member will not accept compensation, financial or otherwise, from
more than one interested party for
the same service without the consent
of all interested parties.
5. The member will not accept nor offer commissions or allowances, directly
or indirectly, from other parties
dealing with their client in connection with
work for which the member is responsible.
6. The member will promptly disclose to his client any interest in a business
which may affect the client. The
member will not allow an interest in any
business to affect the quality or results of their inspection work
which they
may be called upon to perform. The inspection work may not be used as a
vehicle by the inspector to deliberately obtain work in another field.
7. An inspector shall make every effort to uphold, maintain and improve
the professional integrity, reputation
and practice of the home inspection
industry. He will report all such relevant information, including violations
of this Code by other members, to the Association
for possible remedial action.
