All IHEEM members are obliged to adhere to the Institute’s Code of Professional Conduct, which places a personal obligation on members to uphold the dignity and reputation of the profession and to safeguard public interest. Each member undertakes to exercise all reasonable professional skill and care, and to discharge this responsibility with integrity.
Members may be subject to Disciplinary Regulations, including having membership withdrawn, should a breach of the Code be found to be proven.
A review of the Code of Professional Conduct and Disciplinary Regulations has been undertaken by reference to the guidelines Code and Disciplinary Regulations recommended by the Engineering Council and benchmarked across other Professional Engineering Institutes.
This new edition of both the Code of Professional Conduct and Disciplinary Regulations replaces all previous editions with immediate effect.
