The chemical engineering profession is under the administrative control and supervision of which body?

• A. Professional Regulations Commission
• B. Commission on Higher Education
• C. Philippine Institute of Chemical Engineers
• D. Department of Trade and Industry

Answer: (A)

Licensing and supervision of chemical engineers in the Philippines are handled by the Professional Regulations Commission. This government agency administers licensure examinations and issues professional licenses, working with the Professional Regulatory Board for Chemical Engineering to establish and enforce the standards for practice. While CHED oversees higher education policies and program standards, it does not license professionals or regulate day-to-day practice. A private professional organization like the Philippine Institute of Chemical Engineers is not a regulatory authority, and the Department of Trade and Industry focuses on commerce and industry regulation rather than professional licensure.
