Since publication of UK-SPEC, SARTOR has been superseded.
However many registrants and intending registrants were assessed
under this standard so the details are retained on this site for
reference only.
Standards for Registration
The ECUK is the national registration authority for professional
engineers. In partnership with UK professional engineering
Institutions, it promotes and regulates the profession to maintain a
world-class engineering workforce in the UK and a standard against
which overseas professional engineers are judged.
SARTOR
SARTOR stands for Standards And Routes TO Registration. This was
the ECUK policy document which specified the Standards required for
registration as:
- Chartered Engineer (CEng)
- Incorporated Engineer (IEng)
- Engineering Technician (EngTech)
SARTOR is compatible with UK-SPEC.
The Third Edition of SARTOR was published in September 1997 and
implemented from September 1999.
The Executive
Summary gives information about the major changes from the
previous edition (SARTOR - 1990).
SARTOR 3rd Edition 1997 comprises Part 1, which is a printed and
bound 24 page A4 Book, and Part 2. Part 1 sets out the fundamental
principles; Part 2 comprises the 'implementing regulations' in
separate, loose-leaf sections for CEng, IEng and EngTech
respectively. Part 2 is updated as necessary.
The complete document is available at SARTOR Part 1 and
