    Code of Conduct for IGBC Third Party Assessors

    Third Party Assessors independently carryout assessments and IGBC carries out quality checks to ensure
    that there is parity in reviews across projects. Assessors are requested to follow the following Code of
    Conduct to bring in transparency, fair play and equity.

    1. As and when a project is assigned to an assessor by IGBC, the assessor should immediately confirm
    to IGBC staff, whether the assessor is involved in consultancy of the same project or has bid for
    other projects with the same client. If so, the Consultant should withdraw from being the Assessor
    for the project

    2. The assessment will be done only by professionals trained by IGBC. It would not be delegated to
    other people, within/ outside the assessor firm. It would also not be sub-contracted to other
    organisations or firms.

    3. The assessors should carry out the reviews assigned, devoid of personal interests.

    4. The assessors should not reveal to the project teams who the assessor is, during the review process
    or after completing the review process, under any circumstances.

    5. The assessors should not use the data submitted by the projects, for their own projects in any
    format.

    6. The assessors should not approach the contact persons listed in the project’s database for any
    personal or business interests during and after the review process.

    7. The Assessor shall release project reviews (Preliminary, Final & Appeal Reviews) in 30 days.

     The break-up of 30 days is as below:

     2-3 days for administration activities to IGBC, and also to verify the documents
    submitted by the Project team to IGBC for assessment.

     15-20 days to Assessor for review.

     5-7 days to IGBC for quality check and release of review report.

    8. While reviewing the projects, the Assessor is expected not to take extreme positions in taking
    decisions, to award and deny the mandatory requirements and credits.

    9. The Assessor is expected not to have the attitude of policing, while verifying project submittals.

    10. IGBC team may visit the project site to verify implementation of green features, before award of
    final rating

    11. For credits which are on the fence, with respect to documentation, the Benefit-of-doubt would
    normally be in favour of the project, once IGBC verifies implementation at site

    12. IGBC team would have the discretion to award or deny credit points, with the ultimate goal of
    awarding projects get the rating that they deserve

    13. Any contentious issues would be evaluated by IGBC Technical Committee
