Question
Would services which involve the use of high tech remote controlled equipment fall under the Code of Ethics?
Response
The ASHI Code of Ethics was developed to "set forth obligations of ethical conduct for the home inspection profession." The Code addresses the ethical issues that an inspector may face when performing his or her duties as a home inspector as defined by the Standards of Practice. The Code does not address the use of any particular equipment or inspection methods. The use of such equipment does not change the inspector's obligations under the Code when performing home inspections.
