The Engineering Council is pleased to announce the Association of Polish Engineers in Great Britain (STP) and the International Institute of Obsolescence Management (IIOM) receiving approval to become Professional Affiliates.

Professional Affiliates are engineering institutions closely associated with, but not licensed by, the Engineering Council. They are influential and work to further the knowledge and understanding of a particular area or aspect of engineering and technology. Some Professional Affiliates have agreements with licensed institutions to assess their members for professional registration.

Registration Agreements have been approved between the Society of Operations Engineers (SOE) and the following Professional Affiliates, who previously held registration agreements with the Society of Environmental Engineers (SEE):

• The Institute of Concrete Technology (ICT)
• The Institute of Corrosion (ICorr)
• The Institute of Demolition Engineers (IDE)
• The Institute of Explosive Engineers (IExpE)

Details of all current Professional Affiliates and licensed professional engineering institutions can be found on our website.

The Engineering Council holds the national Register of Engineering Technicians (EngTech), Incorporated Engineers (IEng), Chartered Engineers (CEng) and Information and Communication Technology Technicians (ICTTech). It also sets and maintains the internationally recognised standards of competence and ethics that govern the award and retention of these titles. By this means it is able to ensure that employers, government and wider society, both at home and overseas, can have confidence in the skills and commitment of registrants.
