ASEAN CHARTERED PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER
CO-ORDINATING COMMITTEE (ACPECC)
- Initiatives and Implementation Strategies
ACPECC was officially formed in May 2008 with
Indonesia as the Chairman and Malaysia as the
Vice-Chairman, with the Chairmanship rotated
every two years. In 2010, Malaysia became the
Chairman and Lao PDR the Vice Chairman. In
July 2012, the Chairmanship was handed over to
Myanmar assisted by the Philippines.
The ACPECC Secretariat is currently located
in Jakarta, Indonesia. The Secretariat facilitates
the administration of ACPECC and processes
and maintains an ASEAN Chartered Professional
Engineer Register [ACPER]. Currently, the
Secretariat is responsible for the preparation
and issuance of the ACPE certificates which are
distributed to the successful new ACPEs.
ACPECC meetings have been held back to back
with the CCS meetings because some ASEAN
Countries prefer this arrangement. Furthermore,
not all the ASEAN Countries are fully on board
with the MRA and ACPECC. Efforts are being
made to ensure that most ASEAN Countries, if
not all, will in the future participate in the MRA on
Engineering Services. The Meetings of ACPECC,
must be attended by the Chairman, Vice Chairman,
Secretary, not more than three delegates from
each of the participating ASEAN Member Countries
and not more than three observers from each of
the non-participating ASEAN Member Countries.
So far, the effort of ACPECC has been on
creating the ACPER for each Member Country.
Currently, all Member Countries have formed their
own Monitoring Committees and submitted their
Assessment Statement.
The total number of ACPEs is 794; with 154
from Indonesia, 199 from Malaysia, 218 from
Singapore, 113 from Vietnam, 72 from Myanmar
and 38 from Philippines.
A Networking Session and Seminar, later called
Roundtable Discussion, was an effort introduced
by Malaysia, and later hosted by Singapore
and Thailand, to expedite the co-operation and
understanding among ACPEs and Professional

Engineers in the ASEAN Member Countries. The
Second Networking Session was held in Singapore
(2011) and the third in Bangkok (2012). Of late,
the Roundtable Discussion has been combined
with the ASEAN Architect Council.
