With a view to ensuring the best quality interpretation，members of the Association： shall endeavour always to secure satisfactory conditions of sound，visibility and comfort，having particular regard to the Professional Standards as adopted by the Association as well as any technical standards drawn up or approved by it；

shall not，as a general rule，when interpreting simultaneously in a booth，work either alone or without the availability of a colleague to relieve them should the need arise； shall try to ensure that teams of conference interpreters are formed in such a way as to avoid the systematic use of relay；

shall not agree to undertake either simultaneous interpretation without a booth or whispered interpretation unless the circumstances are exceptional and the quality of interpretation work is not thereby impaired；
