Stumbling across the Software Engineering Code of Ethics and Professional Practice made me think about a similar code for Interface Designers. Here's my interpretation:

• ACCESSIBILITY - Interface designers shall ensure that their work is accessible to as many users, on as many platforms and devices as possible.

• USABILITY - Interface designers shall ensure their work is usable and fit for purpose.
  

• LEGIBILITY - Information shall be well communicated - be it typographic or conceptual.
  

• CLIENTS v. USERS - Interface designers shall represent the needs of the user to the client.
  

• STANDARDS - Interface designers shall adhere to standards where they exist and innovate where they don't.
  

• VALUES - Interface designers shall aspire to delivering the work specified on time, to budget and to an high standard. See the Iron Triangle
