7. These Principles should influence software engineers to consider broadly who is affected by their work; to examine if they and their colleagues are treating other human beings with due respect; to consider how the public, if reasonably well informed, would view their decisions; to analyze how the least empowered will be affected by their decisions; and to consider whether their acts would be judged worthy of the ideal professional working as a software engineer.

8. In particular, software engineers shall, as appropriate:Provide service in their areas of competence, being honest and forthright about any limitations of their experience and education.

9. The Code contains eight Principles related to the behavior of and decisions made by professional software engineers, including practitioners, educators, managers, supervisors and policy makers, as well as trainees and students of the profession.

10. The Code helps to define those actions that are ethically improper to request of a software engineer or teams of software engineers.

1. In all these judgments concern for the health, safety and welfare of the public is primary; that is, the "Public Interest" is central to this Code.

2. The Code prescribes these as obligations of anyone claiming to be or aspiring to be a software engineer.

3. Recognize that personal violations of this Code are inconsistent with being a professional software engineer.

4. The Code is not simply for adjudicating the nature of questionable acts; it also has an important educational function.

5. The dynamic and demanding context of software engineering requires a code that is adaptable and relevant to new situations as they occur.

6. Software Engineering Code of Ethics and Professional Practice (Full Version)PREAMBLEComputers have a central and growing role in commerce, industry, government, medicine, education, entertainment and society at large.

7. Not ask a software engineer to do anything inconsistent with this Code.

8. Provide for due process in hearing charges of violation of an employer's policy or of this Code.
