Chemical Engineer Professional regulation

Chemical Engineer Professional regulation

Chemical Engineer Professional regulation

(OP)

Could anyone tell me the UK/USA laws which regulate the occupation as chemical engineer? I refer to those laws which list all the competences and professional skills that are associated to a chemical engineer. Internet links are welcome. Thanks in advance

In the US, the competencies and requirements of a chemical PE are governed by the individual state boards/association. You can Google the association of the state(s) of interest.

RE: Chemical Engineer Professional regulation

In the UK there is no law regulating chemical engineering as a profession.

The Institute of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) is the "governing body" overseeing things like accreditation of chemical engineering degree courses and attaining "chartered chemical engineer" status.

Try www.NCEES.org for an Internet listing of all state boards

Note that a lot of chemical engineers in the US work in industries that are exempt from registration requirements.  I would think you'd need the registration primarily if working as a consultant.
