GUIDELINES FOR USING MEMBER’S IDENTIFICATION SEAL - Application and Requirements

Oct 28, 2026

Guidelines define how certified NBSCETT members may use an identification seal under the New Brunswick Engineering Technology Act 1986. The seal may be applied only by members in good standing, and only the seal issued by NBSCETT is permitted; misuse may lead to removal of the privilege. Clear, legible application is required on preliminary, draft, or final documents prepared by the member or under their immediate supervision, with the member’s signature and relevant date shown. The document lists common seal-requiring items, outlines professional responsibility, covers electronic reproduction and ownership, and specifies the $50 production/handling charge and office processing fields.
