Amendment to the Code of Conduct (in effect from 29 November 2001) (17/01/2002)
Standard 8 of the Architects Code – Standards of Conduct and Practice provides:
Architects should not undertake professional work without adequate and appropriate professional indemnity insurance.
8.1 The need for cover extends to professional work undertaken outside an Architect’s main professional practice or employment, and to work undertaken by employees of an Architect.
8.2 Employed Architects should, as far as possible, ensure that professional indemnity insurance cover or other appropriate cover is provided by their employer.
8.3 Without limiting an Architect’s duty to maintain professional indemnity cover which is adequate and appropriate for the work the Architect is undertaking, Architects must maintain, in any event, minimum cover in accordance with the Board’s guidelines on professional indemnity insurance issued from time to time and provide such evidence in such form as the Board may require demonstrating compliance with this standard.
