Document Summary

The certification process consists of stamping (or sealing), signing, and dating the drawings. Only final drawings and record drawings (formerly referred to as as-built drawings) must be certified before submission to the client. Draft drawings or drawings that are issued for review purposes do not require certification. In general, the engineer responsible for a design should certify its drawings. Most states strictly prohibit the practice of plan stamping, which involves stamping the work of others with little or no review and with no supervisory role. Some engineers allow their professional engineering stamp and signature to be scanned electronically and added to electronic copies of their drawings. This practice is intended to be a time-saving procedure, especially when a set of drawings involves many sheets. When an electronic file of a drawing with the engineer"s seal is submitted to a client, anyone can edit the drawing while the engineer"s stamp and signature remain on the edited drawing.
