10. In accordance with that commitment, software engineers shall adhere to the following Code of Ethics and Professional Practice.

1. 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.

1. s humanity, in special care owed to people affected by the work of software engineers, and the unique elements of the practice of software engineering.

2. Not unfairly intervene in the career of any colleague; however, concern for the employer, the client or public interest may compel software engineers, in good faith, to question the competence of a colleague.

3. Principle 4: JUDGMENTSoftware engineers shall maintain integrity and independence in their professional judgment.

4. Because of their roles in developing software systems, software engineers have significant opportunities to do good or cause harm, to enable others to do good or cause harm, or to influence others to do good or cause harm.

5. In accordance with that commitment, software engineers shall adhere to the following Code of Ethics and Professional Practice.

6. In particular, those managing or leading software engineers shall, as appropriate:Ensure good management for any project on which they work, including effective procedures for promotion of quality and reduction of risk.

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

8. In particular, software engineers shall, as appropriate:Encourage colleagues to adhere to this Code.

9. Software engineers are those who contribute by direct participation or by teaching, to the analysis, specification, design, development, certification, maintenance and testing of software systems.

10. Principle 8: SELFSoftware engineers shall participate in lifelong learning regarding the practice of their profession and shall promote an ethical approach to the practice of the profession.

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. These situations require the software engineer to use ethical judgment to act in a manner which is most consistent with the spirit of the Code of Ethics and Professional Practice, given the circumstances.

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

4. 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.

5. In particular, software engineers shall, as appropriate:Encourage colleagues to adhere to this Code.

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

7. Ensure that clients, employers, and supervisors know of the software engineer's commitment to this Code of ethics, and the subsequent ramifications of such commitment.

8. However, even in this generality, the Code provides support for software engineers and managers of software engineers who need to take positive action in a specific case by documenting the ethical stance of the profession.

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

10. Avoid associations with businesses and organizations which are in conflict with this code.

1. Identify, define and address ethical, economic, cultural, legal and environmental issues related to work projects.
