(a)These standards of practice establish a minimum and uniform standard for home inspectors. Home inspections shall be performed in compliance with these standards of practice and shall provide the client with objective information regarding the condition of the systems and components of the residential building as observed at the time of the home inspection.
(b)These standards of practice are not intended to limit home inspectors from including other inspection services or from observing and reporting upon systems and components not required by these standards of practice.
(c)The home inspection report shall clearly identify the systems and components of the residential building that were observed. If a home inspector is providing a home inspection that does not meet the minimum requirements as set forth in this standards of practice, the home inspection report must describe the scope of work, the services provided and the systems and components that are included and excluded in the inspection.
