In performing work activities, enforcing compliance, and managing corporate operations—including data protection, anti-money laundering, anti-bribery and corruption, and the Equalities Act 2010—adherence to pertinent legal and regulatory standards is crucial. Strict adherence is required to obligations to other regulatory organisations, municipal authorities, professional associations, and the Regulatory Authority under the Professional Conduct Rules, as described in the Annexes. It is necessary to conform to industry standards and regulatory frameworks by following the building rules and legislative advice issued by the Regulatory Authority and the Department for Levelling up Housing and Communities. Good practice should be taken into account wherever appropriate.

To protect the reputation of the building control profession and prevent any actions that can damage it, professionals must remain unbiased and independent in their job. In addition to making sure that everyone who works for or on behalf of an organisation complies with all applicable legal and regulatory obligations, responsibility also entails cultivating an organisational culture that values accountability and compliance. When regulations like the Building Act 1984 or related laws are broken, it is crucial to use regulatory authorities to ensure compliance. If essential activities are not completed in a fair amount of time, non-compliant work should be notified to the appropriate local authority right away.

It is imperative to maintain precision when using terms like "registered building control approver," "RBCA," "registered building inspector," and "RBI" to preserve uniformity and clarity within the profession. Additionally, it is important to make sure that these terms correspond with the registration terms to prevent any misunderstandings or improper use. Similarly, making sure that phrases adhere to registration requirements supports standards and guards against misunderstandings or deception in business dealings and correspondence.
