FIVE DISCIPLINARY RULES

FOR INSPECTORS IN THE STATE INSPECTION SYSTEM

Article 1. When performing duties, they must present their inspector identification card or work introduction letter, ensuring compliance with the requirements and timeframes stipulated in the decision of the competent authority.

Article 2. Meals, accommodation, and transportation expenses incurred during inspections must be settled according to the prescribed regulations and immediately reported to the inspected entity if such expenses are to be covered by that entity. They must not accept gifts under any form and must combat any attempts by the inspected entities to bribe or influence them.

Article 3. They may only interact with the inspected entities at their offices. When listening to explanations from the inspected entities regarding complex cases, there must be two or more people present; exceptions apply when hearing complaints. They must not coerce or suggest answers or narratives according to their subjective wishes. They must not attempt to mitigate, cover up, or issue conclusions that deviate from the truth.

Article 4. They must strictly follow the directives of the decision-making authority or the Head of the Inspection Team (if it is a team inspection). In case of disagreement during the inspection process, they must still comply with the directives but retain the right to report their opinions to the decision-making authority. If assigned an inspection task and having direct social relations with the inspected entity, they must honestly report this to the decision-making authority for resolution.

Article 5. They must properly manage and use inspection documents and materials in accordance with the inspection objectives and requirements.
