25 May 2026
CBIP's Code of Professional Conduct has recently been updated and the latest version is now available on the website.
The update does not change the core expectations of professionalism, integrity, competence, confidentiality and respect that members are already familiar with. Instead, it provides some additional clarification around:
Making statements on behalf of CBIP.
- Working within the scope of your certification and making claims about certification status.
- Requirements if a certification is suspended or withdrawn.
Members are encouraged to take a few minutes to review the updated document and ensure they are familiar with the current requirements.
The revised Code of Professional Conduct can be found in the Policies and Procedures section of the CBIP website.
If you have any questions, please contact the CBIP office.
