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

6. 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.

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, 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

1. Not ask a software engineer to do anything inconsistent with 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. Not influence others to undertake any action that involves a breach of this Code.

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

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

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

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

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