Continuing registration requirements are requirements that, if satisfied, demonstrate that an applicant for renewal or restoration of registration has maintained competency in the practice of engineering in the area of engineering for which the applicant is, or was, registered.

The requirements may include requirements about the following for an area of engineering—

the nature, extent and period of practice of engineering by the applicant;

the nature and extent of continuing professional development to be undertaken by the applicant;

the nature and extent of research, study or teaching, relating to engineering, to be undertaken by the applicant;

the nature and extent of administrative work, relating to engineering, to be performed by the applicant.

The requirements are met by—

if the applicant is registered with an assessment entity for participation in the continuing registration requirements of an assessment scheme conducted by the entity—complying with the continuing registration requirements of the assessment scheme; or

otherwise—complying with the board’s continuing registration requirements for the area of engineering for which the applicant is, or was, registered.

An assessment entity must—

keep published the continuing registration requirements of each of the entity’s assessment schemes on the entity’s website; and

ensure the continuing registration requirements of each of the entity’s assessment schemes are readily available to any registered professional engineer on request.

The board must—

keep published the board’s continuing registration requirements on the board’s website; and

keep the requirements available for inspection, without charge, at the board’s office when the office is open to the public; and

if asked by a person and on payment of the fee, if any, prescribed under a regulation, give the person a copy of the requirements.
