Description
Preserve a clause locator in a professional code.
Ethics records describe supplied claims, roles, obligations, consent status and participation counts. Recording a permission modality or competing role does not resolve a duty conflict, establish valid consent or determine an ethically acceptable decision. Numerical balance and equal turn counts are limited summaries.
Preserve a clause locator in a professional code.
When to use this tool
Use Professional Code Clause Locator when checking the stated ethical-review record, obligation or participation convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter codeId, edition, clauseText. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Require nonempty code ID, edition and clause text. Encode the ordered triple as JSON text.1

|---|---|---|
| codeId | Code Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| edition | Edition | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| clauseText | Clause Text | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |

{
"input": {
"codeId": "CODE17",
"edition": "v2",
"clauseText": "3.2(b)"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"CODE17\",\"v2\",\"3.2(b)\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- No professional code is retrieved or interpreted; current duties, applicability and compliance are not established.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review the original evidence, affected people’s interests and applicable professional/governance requirements with the responsible ethics team for substantive decisions.
