Whitesides  \nIntroduction and Overview  \nIn order to properly use professional seals in Ohio, registered design professionals are required tobe familiar with specific practice regulations. These regulations are contained in a collection of laws known as the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) . The Ohio Revised Code is subdivided into Titles, Chapters, and Sections. The primary law in which we have interest, i.e., that deals with sealing and certification, is contained in Title 47, Occupations-Professionals and the following specific Chapters:  \n1. Chapter 4703, Architects  \n2. Chapter 4733, Professional Engineers and Professional Surveyors  \nA collection of laws known as the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) adds detail, and is intended to implement the Ohio Revised Code Chapters listed above. The OAC is also divided into Chapters. Of interest to us are the following implementing OAC Chapters:  \nThe Ohio State House 1  \n1. Chapter 4703, State Board of Examiners of Architects  \n2. Chapter 4703:1, State Board of Landscape Architect Examiners  \n3. Chapter 4733, State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Surveyors  \nThe Proper Use of Ohio Professional Seals © 2010 Randall W. Whitesides  \nPage 1  \n[www.PDHonline.com](www.PDHonline.com) PDH Course No. R132 [www.PDHonline.org](www.PDHonline.org)  \nA specific Administrative Code is often referred to as a Rule or Regulation. To reduce clutter within the body of the course content, no further literal enumeration will be made to the various Chapters and Code rules; only reference numbers will be used.  \nThe technical design professions are regulated by the respective Ohio Boards of Examiners and Registration. Before the advent of the World Wide Web the respective Boards utilized mailed periodicals to officially disseminate information related to the regulated professions. Official information is now periodically published over the Internet through Board newsletters. This information may include statutory requirements, statutory changes, Rules, Rule changes, proposed or pending Rule changes, licensing requirements, license renewal procedures, Board action, Board interpretative rulings or guidelines, disciplinary action, and ethical or professional standards.  \nThis course is an integration of the relevant sections of several Ohio laws and several past Board newsletters that pertain to the use of professional seals. The course is not intended as a replacement or substitution for official information sources that provide understanding of the laws, rules, and regulations governing the use of professional seals in Ohio. Hopefully it provides a useful supplement that reflects common professional practice issues and concerns regarding their use. The applicable regulations are listed in the Reference Section; they supersede any information contained in this course.  \nEven though the technical design professions are regulated by separate Boards, the prescribed acceptable methods of professional seal use are relatively consistent among all of the Ohio professions. There are, however, specific minor differences and these will be noted.  \nWhile every effort has been made to insure the accuracy and completeness of the information presented in this course, the reader is reminded that the Code and Rules are subject to periodic revision. Consequently, while the course’s base content is relatively constant, specifics are subject to variation.
