Duties beyond their level of expertise must be carried out under the guidance of those who are appropriately competent. RBIs not being sufficiently qualified are not permitted to take on technical managerial responsibilities or oversee others. RBIs must maintain their professional competence and follow the Regulatory Authority's criteria for ongoing professional development.

Additionally, RBIs who occupy administrative or supervisory roles are accountable for guaranteeing the continued proficiency of those they supervise. This entails keeping a close eye on and encouraging their subordinates' growth. RBIs must reflect on their requirements for development formally, recording their findings and the steps they propose to take to meet these needs following set protocols. Additionally, they must document their thoughts following their organisation’s policy or registration period.

RBIs are required to compile a portfolio of evidence that attests to their competency. This portfolio must include documentation of all training, development, and competence-related activities that the RBI has conducted throughout the registration term. RBIs must stay updated on organizational rules covering various topics, including addressing complaints, insurance plans, conflicts of interest, health and safety procedures, data protection, whistleblowing, staff behaviour, learning and development, equality and diversity programs, and policies against money laundering, terrorism funding, bribery, and corruption. By following these guidelines, RBIs maintain their professional integrity and guarantee their continued competency in their responsibilities in the building control industry.
