This is not intended to supersede applicable licensing laws and the following should be noted:  \n Individual states will have specific rules to follow in their respective jurisdictions.  \n Each state’s licensing board should be considered the final authority  \non PE Sign/Stamp requirements for that state.  The Standard of Care for engineering rarely changes.  \n Standard of Care is defined as “care and skill ordinarily used by members of the subject profession practicing under similar circumstances at the same time and in the same locality is expected.”  \n For more information on Standard of Care, refer to:  \n  [https://www.nspe.org/resources/pe-magazine/spring-2021/](https://www.nspe.org/resources/pe-magazine/spring-2021/)[ ](https://www.nspe.org/resources/pe-magazine/spring-2021/)[having-the-talk-explaining-the-standard-care-clients](having-the-talk-explaining-the-standard-care-clients)  \n  [https://www.ejcdc.org/standard-care-spearin-doctrine-kevin](https://www.ejcdc.org/standard-care-spearin-doctrine-kevin)obeirne  \nNSPE.ORG  \nINTRODUCTION  \nFounded in 1934, the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) supports over 500,000 professional engineers, and the public. Through education, licensure advocacy, leadership training, multidisciplinary networking, and outreach, NSPE enhances the image of professional engineers and their ability to ethically and professionally practice engineering.  \nVISION  \nA world where the public can be confident that engineering decisions affecting their lives are made by qualified and ethically accountable professionals.  \nMISSION  \nTo foster licensed professional engineers in service to society.  \nOne of NSPE’s Values is that of Ethics and Accountability, namely that NSPE is the “recognized and authoritative expert in licensure, ethics, and professional practice.”  \nThis PE Signature and Stamp process guide aligns with the NSPE Vision and Mission as a safeguard demonstrating a work product, such as a design, was done by someone that is qualified and has an ethical commitment to public health, safety, and welfare.  \nNSPE.ORG  \n2  \nINTRODUCTION (Continued)  \nThis resource is shaped from expertise and input from NSPE members and leadership, and references other applicable professional organizations such as the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) .  \nThis resource as intended guidance from this expertise to those who may:  \n Now be required to PE Sign/Stamp by respective state(s)  Wish to voluntarily incorporate a PE Sign/Stamp process  Wish for increased focus on public health, safety, and welfare  \n Seek to establish a demonstrable process for professional and not general liability, which may impact insurance coverage decisions  \nFor firms whose PEs are, for the first time, performing work that needs to be PE signed/stamped, it would be appropriate to consider carrying Errors and Omissions (E&O) professional liability insurance, since the licensed work product (a defined term) is generally not covered by general liability insurance.  \nIf a PE performs work outside their scope of employment, the employer’s E&O/ professional liability insurance does not provide coverage for the outside work.  \nFor more information on opinions from insurance companies on this item, refer to:  Victor Insurance Link:  [https://www.victorinsuranceus.com/](https://www.victorinsuranceus.com/)  \n Entry point for E&O insurance information:  [https://www.victorinsuranceus.com/](https://www.victorinsuranceus.com/)[ ](https://","cbCaitlIqs5BP2Ls","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitlIqs5BP2Ls","pdf",1351447,17,"English","# Foreword\n# Introduction\n## NSPE Vision and Mission\n# Learning Objectives\n# What is the PE Sign/Stamp Process?\n## Professional Engineer (PE) Clarifications","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the PE Signature and Stamp process?\",\"answer\":\"To protect public health, safety, and welfare; reflect Responsible Charge; and emphasize proper follow-through on signed/stamped work.
