comply with the requirements can apply to be placed on the

ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineer Register (ACPER) and
accorded the title of ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineer
(ACPE). In this regard, PE refers to a natural person who holds

the nationality of ASEAN member country; is assessed by the PRA
of any participating ASEAN member country as being technical,

morally, and legally qualified to undertake independent
professional engineering practice; and is registered and licensed
for such practice by the PRA. However, the status of ACPE does

not automatically mean that the supply of engineering services
in other ASEAN countries is permitted. With ACPE status,

PEs may be able to obtain the status of Registered Foreign
Professional Engineer (RFPE), which is necessary to supply
services in other ASEAN countries.

To this extent, ACPE who wishes to provide professional
engineering services in another participating ASEAN country shall

be eligible to apply to the PRA of a host participating ASEAN
country to be registered as an RFPE. RFPE will be permitted
to work, not in independent practice, but in collaboration

with designated PEs in the said host country, and subject to
domestic laws and regulations and where applicable, not making

submissions to statutory authorities of the host country.
