Preamble
The members of the International Association of Mold Management (IAMM) are committed to providing quality and professional service to the public. This Code of Ethics sets forth principles and rules of conduct enforced by IAMM.
PRINCIPLE 1: Quality of Care
Members shall commit to ongoing professional development and education as established by the IAMM and the IAMM bylaws.
PRINCIPLE 2: Individual Rights
Members shall strive to recognize and respect the rights, dignity and individuality of all persons. A member shall not unlawfully discriminate or knowingly permit unlawful discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, religion, age or disability.
PRINCIPLE 3: Representation of Care and Fees
Members shall make no representations regarding their services or qualifications that are false or misleading in any material respect.
Members shall fully disclose charges for services, as well as the general scope of the services prior to conducting a survey, sampling, testing or remediation. Members shall not survey, test, sample, or remediate for a fee any property in which the member, or the member's company, has any financial interest or any interest in the transfer of the property.
Members shall not offer or deliver any compensation, inducement, or reward to the owner of the surveyed property, the broker, or agent, for the referral of any business to the member or the member's company.
PRINCIPLE 4: Conflicts of Interest
Members shall avoid conflicts of interest with regard to their activities, financial considerations or other interests. At such time as a member becomes reasonably aware that an actual, apparent or potential conflict of interest exists, the member shall refrain from providing services or opinions until full disclosure has been made, and the conflict waived in writing by the appropriate parties.
Members shall not perform or offer to perform, for an additional fee, any repairs or associated services to a structure on which the surveyor, or the surveyors company, has prepared a survey report.
PRINCIPLE 5: Conduct of Members
Members shall refrain from making derogatory comments regarding other Members or other persons involved in the survey, sampling, testing, or remediation processes.
Members shall pledge themselves to the continued pursuit of increasing their knowledge, education, training and experience so that consumers of these services can rely upon the competence of the members.
Members shall not engage in any conduct that is detrimental to the reputation or the best interests of IAMM or the mold management industry.
