PART VI – DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE
Section 45: Code of Ethics
=================================
The Engineering Institution of Zambia (EIZ) Act No. 17 of 2010 requires the Council to adopt and publish a Code of Ethics for engineering professionals, engineering organisations, and engineering units regulated under the Act.
Section 45 states:
"The Council shall adopt and publish a Code of Ethics for engineering professionals, engineering organisations and engineering units which shall bind all engineering professionals, engineering organisations and engineering units regulated under this Act."
The Code of Ethics serves as the foundation for professional engineering practice by promoting:
✅ Integrity and honesty
✅ Accountability and responsibility
✅ Professional competence
✅ Protection of public health, safety, and welfare
✅ Public confidence in the engineering profession
The Code is binding on all regulated engineering professionals, engineering organisations, and engineering units. Compliance is therefore not optional—it is a professional obligation.
Ethics is the cornerstone of engineering excellence and public trust.
