1. A licensee shall undertake assignments only when qualified by education or experience in the specific technical fields of surveying involved.
2. A licensee shall not sign or seal any plans or documents dealing with subject matter in which the licensee lacks competence, or any plan or document not prepared under the licensee's direct control and personal supervision. A licensee may, however, sign and seal one or more aspects of an overall project, provided that the aspect for which the licensee assumes responsibility is clearly stated on the plan or document.

4. A licensee shall make full written disclosures to the licensee's employer or client of potential conflicts of interest or other circumstances which could influence or appear to influence the licensee's judgment or the quality of the licensee's service. Disclosure shall be promptly made once the licensee learns or by the exercise of reasonable diligence should have learned of the conflict of interest or other circumstances.
5. A licensee shall not accept compensation, financial or otherwise, simultaneously from more than one party for the same services, unless the circumstances are fully disclosed in writing to all interested parties.
6. A licensee serving as a member, advisor, or employee of a governmental body shall not participate in decisions by the governmental body with respect to professional services offered or provided by the licensee or any person or firm associated with the licensee to the governmental body.
