(a) that failure to comply with the code or standard shall be a ground for the taking of disciplinary action, or the exercise of powers of intervention, only in such cases and to such extent as may be specified; and
(b) that no such action shall be taken, or any such power exercised, except at the request of the person by whom the code or standard in question was issued.
