How to Register a Design
Design Registration
Requirements
Professional engineers involved with the design of regulated equipment are required to authenticate a design that reliably demonstrates that engineered safety considerations, professional accountability, and professional reliance were exercised as part of the design development.
The qualified professional must have evaluated the design with recognized and generally accepted, good engineering practices, along with our safety standards. Design registration must occur before the construction, installation, and maintenance of the regulated equipment or technology.
