Code of Ethics of the
American Society of Home Inspectors, Inc.®
Effective January 1, 2000
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.

obtain work in another field. |
