PE Stamp Question
PE Stamp Question
(OP)
I had a question about PE Stamps.
My company is in Texas. We do designs requiring a PE stamp for lifting lugs and Skid calculations for Oil field equipment. Does this need to be stamped by a Texas PE or does it matter? I am not sure of all the end locations for the equipment. From what i can tell, the PE stamp requirements comes from our customer, not the state.
Thanks

RE: PE Stamp Question
The board said:
1. If there is a New Mexico regulation that requires a stamp, then the stamp must be under the jurisdiction of the NM Board (i.e., an out-of-state stamp would be the same as no stamp).
2. If another entity is requiring the stamp, then the Board has no way of objectively evaluating the work that was stamped and won't intervene. The guy I was talking to went on to say that a Federal requirement for a stamp would likely have to come under the "Good Faith and Credence" clause and the Feds can't officially prefer one state's stamp over another. He was a regulator, not a lawyer, so his opinion on that may not be worth much.
I would think that unless the company specified that it must be a Texas P.E. (unlikely) then it won't matter, but I would ask the company to see if maybe they have an (irrational) preference for in-state P.E. stamps. This is a company requirement, so I don't know how much value an attorney would do you on this one.

RE: PE Stamp Question
Federal OSHA even spells that out - they don't care what state - just want a PE.
That said - if it comes under some kind of public review process - like local building officials - you know they will want a local (state) stamp.
In additions - some states are very specific about you having their state PE - they simply want your money!!
So, bottom line, be careful. And that is why we are registered in all 50 states and D.C.
