About Our Code of Ethics

The AICIP Code of Ethics sets the standard for professional conduct within our community of in-service inspection specialists. It reflects our shared commitment to integrity, fairness, and responsibility in all aspects of practice.

By upholding these principles, members help protect the reputation of the industry, foster trust among colleagues and stakeholders, and ensure the ongoing development of knowledge and professional excellence.

The Code outlines the expectations we hold for ourselves and each other, promoting honesty, respect, confidentiality, and ethical behaviour that supports both the Association and the broader community we serve.
