• The APEC agreement is in place between a
number of APEC countries for the purposes
of recognizing “substantial equivalence” of
professional competence in engineering.
APEC countries can apply to become
members of the agreement by
demonstrating that they have in place
systems which allow the competence of
engineers to be assessed to the agreed
international standard set by the APEC
Engineer agreement.

• Each member economy of the APEC
agreement has given an undertaking
that the extra assessment required to
be registered on the local professional
engineering register will be minimised
for those registered under the APEC
Engineer agreement.

• What is the purpose of APEC in the
Philippines? What Does APEC Do?
- APEC ensures that goods, services,
investment and people move easily
across borders. Members facilitate this
trade through faster customs procedures
at borders; more favorable business
climates behind the border; and aligning
regulations and standards across the
region.
