Codes of ethics<br />
The purpose of the American Society for Quality (<strong>ASQ</strong>) Code of Ethics is to establish global standards of c<strong>on</strong>duct and behavior for its members, certificati<strong>on</strong><br />
holders, and any<strong>on</strong>e else who may represent or be perceived to represent <strong>ASQ</strong>. In additi<strong>on</strong> to the code, all applicable <strong>ASQ</strong> policies and procedures should<br />
be followed. Violati<strong>on</strong>s to the Code of Ethics should be reported. Differences in work style or pers<strong>on</strong>alities should be first addressed directly with others<br />
before escalating to an ethics issue. The <strong>ASQ</strong> Professi<strong>on</strong>al Ethics and Qualificati<strong>on</strong>s Committee, appointed annually by the <strong>ASQ</strong> Board of Directors, is<br />
resp<strong>on</strong>sible for interpreting this code and applying it to specific situati<strong>on</strong>s, which may or may not be specifically called out in the text. Disciplinary acti<strong>on</strong>s will<br />
be commensurate with the seriousness of the offense and may include permanent revocati<strong>on</strong> of certificati<strong>on</strong>s and/or expulsi<strong>on</strong> from the society.<br />
Fundamental Principles<br />
