VERY IMPORTANT!!!

Please note that there is now a new law (the Electronics EngineeringAct of 2004, or R.A. 9292) which governs the practice of Electronics Engineering, which was signed into law last April 17, 2004.

Slide 9

RELEVANT PROVISIONS OFRA 9292 IN RELATION TO THENATIONAL BUILDING CODE:

_______________________________________________________

The profession which used tobe called “Electronics & Communications Engineering” is now called “Electronics Engineering” (but still called ECEfor short).

…/cont.

Slide 10

Just like the Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, the Electronics Engineers now alsohave a “Professional” category,i.e., the Professional ElectronicsEngineer or PECE for short.

Slide 11

SCOPE AND NATURE OF PRACTICE OF ELECTRONICS

ENGINEERING(As defined in RA 9292), …the scope and nature ofpractice of Electronics Engineering embraces and coversany work or activity relating to the application ofengineering sciences and/or principles to theinvestigation, analysis, synthesis, planning, design,specification, research and development, provision,procurement, marketing and sales, manufacture andproduction, construction and installation,tests/measurements/control, operation, repair, servicing,technical support and maintenance of electronicscomponents, devices, products, apparatus,instruments, equipment, systems, networks, operationsand processes in the field of electronics, including:

Slide 12

SCOPE AND NATURE OF PRACTICE OF ELECTRONICS

ENGINEERING

- communications and/or telecommunications, information and communications technology,computers and their networking and hardware/ firmware/software development and applications, broadcast/broadcasting, cable and wirelesstelevision, consumer and industrial electronics,electro-optics/photonics/opto-electronics, electromagnetics, avionics, aerospace,navigational and military applications, medicalelectronics, robotics, cybernetics, biometrics, and all other related and convergent fields.

Slide 13

The nature and scope of practice of the Professional Electronics Engineerincludes all of those covered by the Electronics Engineer, plus the sole authority to provide consulting services as defined in the Act andto sign and seal electronics plans, drawings, permits applications, specifications, reports and other technical documents prepared by himself/herself and/or under his/her direct supervision. (Sec. 5b)

Slide 14

RA 9292 also stipulates that…

“All licensed ProfessionalElectronics Engineers shallobtain and use a seal of adesign prescribed by the Boardbearing the registrant’s name,registration number and title.“(Sec. 29).

…/cont.

Slide 15

Seal of the PECE

Slide 16

"Plans, drawings, permit applications,specifications, reports and other technical documents prepared by and/or executed under the supervision of,and issued by the ProfessionalElectronics Engineer shall be stampedon every sheet/page with said seal,indicating therein his/her currentProfessional Tax Receipt (PTR) number,date/place of payment and currentmembership number in the AccreditedProfessional Organization, when filedwith government authorities or whenused professionally.”

Slide 17

Likewise, RA 9292 provides that…

All members of good standing of this Accredited Professional Organization shall be issued an annual membership card indicating the membership number and validityperiod of the membership, which shall be affixed to all plans, specifications and any document signed by the member in the course of practice of his/her profession.(Sec. 32)

Slide 18

NBCDO Memorandum Circular No. 01, Series of 2005 from Sec. Hermogenes E. Ebdane, Jr. also states that:

4. Prior to the processing of building and ancillarypermits, authenticated machine copies of thevalid and recent Professional IdentificationCard issued by the Professional RegulationCommission, Integrated and AccreditedProfessional Organization of Architects andother Accredited Professional Organizationcertificates, Professional Tax Receipt,Community Tax Certificate, Tax IdentificationNumber, shall be submitted to the BO as aguide in verifying the certainty that thesignatories are registered Filipinoprofessionals.
