ASTM E2065

The development of a canon of ethics signifies the maturity in a specialized field of endeavor, that the practitioners recognize their collective responsibility to the individual and to the public welfare. The ethical standards set forth in this guide hold all PDD examiners to a code of practice that elevates the profession above personal interests, for the benefit of justice and society. Because licensing requirements of PDD examiners vary from state to state, the establishment of ethical practices is imperative.
