Chemical Engineer Professional regulation

[hanon]

Could anyone tell me the UK/USA laws which regulate the occupation as chemical engineer? I refer to those laws which list all the competences and professional skills that are associated to a chemical engineer. Internet links are welcome. Thanks in advance

I refer to those laws which list all the competences and professional skills that are associated to a chemical engineer.

In the US, the competencies and requirements of a chemical PE are governed by the individual state boards/association. You can Google the association of the state(s) of interest.

In the UK there is no law regulating chemical engineering as a profession.

The Institute of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) is the "governing body" overseeing things like accreditation of chemical engineering degree courses and attaining "chartered chemical engineer" status.

Note that a lot of chemical engineers in the US work in industries that are exempt from registration requirements. I would think you'd need the registration primarily if working as a consultant.
