47. A certified inspector must safeguard his professional independence and avoid any situation in which the inspector would be in a conflict of interest.

A conflict of interest arises, in particular, where an inspector

(1)  inspects petroleum equipment belonging to an enterprise by which he is employed, unless he is required, by law, to adhere to a code of professional conduct;

(2)  performs work on petroleum equipment or decontamination work on sites polluted by petroleum products, or supervises such work, in the capacity of a contractor or employee;

(3)  has a direct or indirect interest in an enterprise that performs work on petroleum equipment, designs or manufactures petroleum equipment, or engages in activities in the field of petroleum product sales, storage or transportation.

In addition, a certified inspector must, in exercising his functions, comply with such standards of ethics as the Government may prescribe by regulation.
