Legal Matters
Code of Ethics
HKSTA complies with the code of ethics of ISST. In the event of a written complaint of an alleged breach in the code of ethics by an ISST-certified member, HKSTA will appoint three members to hear and investigate the complaint. The three members will not be affiliated with the accused member. HKSTA will inform the ISST Board of the complaint and report developments and outcomes related to the complaint. If the complaint cannot be resolved locally, HKSTA may request assistance from the ISST Board. (Article IX HKSTA Constitution)
