1. 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.

2. Work to develop software and related documents that respect the privacy of those who will be affected by that software.

3. 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.

2. To ensure, as much as possible, that their efforts will be used for good, software engineers must commit themselves to making software engineering a beneficial and respected profession.

3. 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.

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

5. 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.

6. Principle 6: PROFESSIONSoftware engineers shall advance the integrity and reputation of the profession consistent with the public interest.

7. As this Code expresses the consensus of the profession on ethical issues, it is a means to educate both the public and aspiring professionals about the ethical obligations of all software engineers.

8. Ensure that software engineers are informed of standards before being held to them.

9. Support, as members of a profession, other software engineers striving to follow this Code.

10. Attract potential software engineers only by full and accurate description of the conditions of employment.

1. 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.

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

3. Not influence others to undertake any action that involves a breach of this Code.

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

5. 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.

6. 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.
