ASHI Code of Ethics
For the Home Inspection Profession
Effective on June 13, 2004
Integrity, honesty, and objectivity are fundamental principles embodied by
this Code, which sets forth obligations of ethical conduct for the home
inspection profession. The Membership of ASHI has adopted this Code to provide
high ethical standards to safeguard the public and the profession.
Inspectors shall comply with this Code, shall avoid association with any
enterprise whose practices violate this Code, and shall strive to uphold,
maintain, and improve the integrity, reputation, and practice of the home
inspection profession.
1. Inspectors shall avoid conflicts of interest or activities that compromise,
or appear to compromise, professional independence, objectivity, or inspection
integrity.
A. Inspectors shall not inspect properties for compensation in which they have,
or expect to have, a financial interest.
B. Inspectors shall not inspect properties under contingent arrangements whereby
any compensation or future referrals are dependent on reported findings or on
the sale of a property.
C. Inspectors shall not directly or indirectly compensate realty agents, or
other parties having a financial interest in closing or settlement of real
estate transactions, for the referral of inspections or for inclusion on a list
of recommended inspectors, preferred providers, or similar arrangements.
D. Inspectors shall not receive compensation for an inspection from more than
one party unless agreed to by the client(s).
E. Inspectors shall not accept compensation, directly or indirectly, for
recommending contractors, services, or products to inspection clients or other
parties having an interest in inspected properties.
F. Inspectors shall not repair, replace, or upgrade, for compensation, systems
or components covered by ASHI Standards of Practice, for one year after the
inspection.
2. Inspectors shall act in good faith toward each client and other interested
parties.
A. Inspectors shall perform services and express opinions based on genuine
conviction and only within their areas of education, training, or experience.
B. Inspectors shall be objective in their reporting and not knowingly understate
or overstate the significance of reported conditions.
C. Inspectors shall not disclose inspection results or client information
without client approval. Inspectors, at their discretion, may disclose observed
immediate safety hazards to occupants exposed to such hazards, when feasible.
3. Inspectors shall avoid activities that may harm the public, discredit
themselves,
or reduce public confidence in the profession.
A. Advertising, marketing, and promotion of inspectors' services or
qualifications shall not be fraudulent, false, deceptive, or misleading.
