Design and Building Practitioners Regulation 2021

For the purposes of sections 54(2)(c) and 55(2)(a)(v) of the Act, this Part sets out—

the additional requirements that must be met by a professional body of engineers in order for the body to be recognised by the Secretary as a recognised engineering body, and

the requirements that a professional body of engineers’ recognition or registration scheme must meet (a recognition or registration scheme), and

the application process that a professional body of engineers must follow in order to be recognised by the Secretary as a recognised engineering body.

A reference to a recognised engineering body, in relation to a body recognising or registering a professional engineer (the recognition function), includes a reference to a body corporate recognised by the Secretary to exercise the recognition function of a recognised engineering body only if the body is approved to exercise that function.
