Scope of Engineering Disciplines
1. Scope of Engineering Disciplines
The Monitoring committee commenced, from November, 2000, the registration of two technical
disciplines - Civil Engineering and Structural Engineering - as the engineering disciplines for
the registration of APEC Engineer.
The Monitoring committee added, from November, 2003, the registration of other three
technical disciplines - Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Chemical
Engineering - as the engineering disciplines for the registration of APEC Engineer, reflecting
the conclusion of “A Bilateral Framework to Facilitate Mobility for Mutual Recognition of
Registered/Licensed Engineers between Japan and Australia”
The Monitoring committee is planning to start the registration of all other technical disciplines
in due course.
2. Disciplines for APEC Engineer Registration

(1) Works concerning building structure apply to all aspects of“building
etc.” from planning through design, construction work and
maintenance to other services
・ Here,“ building etc.” include
a) Structures fixed to the ground having roofs as well as columns or
walls including gates etc., as attached structures
b) Structures used as ground-stands, etc. and their (including a)
facilities
c) Structures including chimneys, advertisement towers, elevated
water tanks, retaining walls, manufacturing facilities, storage
facilities, etc. (The Building Standard Law. article 88)
・ The design and superintendence of construction work of buildings
(excluding small-scale wooden buildings) shall be performed by no
one but Kenchikushi.
・ 1st -class Kenchikushi, who are engaged in practical work on
building structure will be considered for the assessment
