Part Soil 501 - RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT
Section Soil 501.03 - Obligation To Obey

(a) The ethical standards set forth in Soil 500 shall bind all certified wetland scientists, certified soil scientists, and approved apprentices, and violation of any such standard shall be a basis for imposing disciplinary sanctions. Conduct proscribed by these ethical standards, when performed by an uncertified person, or during a prior period of certification, shall also be a basis for denying an application or issuing a restricted certificate.

(b) All persons certified under RSA 310-A:75-96 shall be considered to have knowledge of the existence of these rules of professional conduct and shall be deemed to be familiar with their several provisions. Such knowledge shall encompass the understanding that the practice of soil science or wetland science is a privilege, as opposed to a right, and the certified soil scientist or certified wetland scientist shall be forthright and candid in their statements or written response to the board or its representatives on matters pertaining to professional conduct.

(c) Certificate holders shall submit only truthful and correct information in any application or other document filed with or statement made to the board.

(d) Certificate holders shall inform the board of a principal address to which all official board communications should be directed, and of all addresses where the certificate holder is practicing. The establishment of a principal address or the change or abandonment of a principal address shall be reported to the board within 30 days.
