professional rules

In short and in plain language

Professional rules are the rules for a certain kind of job.

A chamber for that job makes them for its members. Doctors, dentists and lawyers have such rules, for example.

The rules cover duties in daily work. They often also say how adverts and the public image may look.

In the legal notice of such jobs, the rules that apply are usually named. The notice also says where to find them.
