Process for application and authorisation to operate an APEC Engineer Register

Applications for authorisation to operate an APEC Engineer Register within an economy must conform to the principles set out in The APEC Engineer Manual and to such guidelines as may be approved from time to time by the APEC Engineer Coordinating Committee.

In applying for authorisation to operate a Register of APEC Engineers, a Monitoring Committee will be required to prepare and submit to the APEC Engineer Coordinating Committee a statement of the proposed assessment criteria and procedures, which will be subject to comprehensive review under procedures similar to those used in monitoring the performance of existing authorised Monitoring Committees.

Following that review, authorisation will require support from two-thirds of the authorised Monitoring Committees at the biennial meeting of the APEC Engineer Coordinating Committee.
