Maintaining ASA membership and accreditation as an Accredited Senior Appraiser requires that one adhere to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (U.S.P.A.P.). This is the Appraisal Foundation's outline of minimum standards for appraisers and integrates the requirement that an appraiser act as a neutral and disinterested party.
