What is RPEQ certification?
RPEQ stands for Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland. Under the Professional Engineers Act 2002 (Qld), professional engineering services in Queensland must be carried out, or directly supervised, by an RPEQ. Certification is the registered engineer putting their name and registration number to a document to confirm the work meets the relevant standards.
Who can sign a Form 15 or Form 16 in Queensland?
A Form 15 (design compliance) and a Form 16 (inspection/aspect certificate) are completed by a competent person for the relevant aspect under the Building Act 1975 (Qld). For engineering aspects, that competent person is an RPEQ. Anthony Earl prepares, signs and issues both where the engineering scope sits within his registration.
