Code of conduct for certified persons

By accepting a CAS certification you agree, for the duration of the certification cycle, to:

1. Comply with the applicable certification requirements of the scheme under which you were certified.
2. Make claims about your certification only with respect to the scope for which it was granted.
3. Not use the certification in any manner that brings CAS into disrepute, or make any statement about the certification that CAS considers misleading or unauthorized.
4. On suspension or withdrawal of your certification, discontinue the use of all claims that contain any reference to CAS or to your certification, and return any certificate issued to you.
5. Not use the certificate in a misleading manner.
6. Inform CAS, without delay, of any matter that can affect your capability to continue to fulfil the certification requirements (e.g. legal proceedings, change of role, loss of physical capability where required by the scheme).
7. Act with integrity, fair presentation, due professional care, confidentiality, independence, and an evidence-based approach in any work performed under the scope of your certification.
