Membership of the IfA is primarily about people committing themselves to standards of practice. The principles of ethical /professional behaviour enshrined in the Code of Conduct are universals. Other codes are specific - obviously if you are not engaged in contractual arrangements for archaeological work, that code won't directly affect you, but the codess/standards are about areas of work not roles (so that standards sections relating to finds work, archiving and museum curation.
As I said, most of the IfA documentation is guidance about best practice, recognising that people may depart from this if they wish, for whatever reason. They might reasonably be asked by others to justify that decision.
