Membership of the European
GPR Association, of any class, is open only to
those who conform to the established principles
of conduct.
The following Ethical Code is
deemed to have been agreed by all Members from
the time of application through to resignation.
1. To conduct all professional
work whether including the use of GPR or not,
in a spirit of fidelity, honour and fairness to
all clients, employers, employees and contractors
alike.
2. To treat either all knowledge
of the business affairs or all information acquired
through the course of any contractual arrangements
with clients and employers as confidential unless
specifically released from the obligation by that
client or employer.
3. To disclose to any client
or employer any business connection, interest
or affiliation which might influence impartial
judgement or impair the disinterested quality
of the service provided.
4. To accept financial compensation
for a particular service from one source only,
unless it is accepted with the full knowledge
and consent of all interested parties.
5. To provide a service to any
client or employer which avoids making insupportable
claims for any method, technique or instrument,
and to make clear when novel research is being
carried out as opposed to accepted practice.
6. To use the information that
can be found by GPR techniques at all times in
a manner to inform and assist clients and employers
by the provision of provable and supportable factual
data, together with, but clearly separated from,
reasonable assumption and inference.
7. To refrain from associating
with, or knowingly allowing, the use of your name
by any enterprise of questionable standard or
quality.
8. To advertise only in a manner
consistent with the high ideals of the Association
and to refrain from using improper, questionable
or insupportable claims when soliciting for professional
work.
9. To avoid injuring others,
their property, reputation, or employment by false
or malicious action.
10. To co-operate with all other
members of the Association by the interchange
of general information and experience, and to
forward the use of GPR techniques to the general
public benefit.
