Corporate Membership has satisfied the Commissioner for Labour in respect of section 6BA(4), Cap 59 since 1998 on the understanding that Corporate Members have undertaken a minimum unit in the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programmes, which include updates on occupational health and safety legislation.  On the basis that Corporate Members will continuously update their knowledge in occupational safety and health through CPD, Corporate Members of the HKIE do not need to take mandatory basic safety training before entering construction sites.

Please note that the HKIE is required to provide such CPD records concerning the recognition of the Corporate Members’ training for the purpose of section 6BA, Cap 59 upon the request of the Labour Department.

Members may refer to the online references of safety training for information:

• Occupational Safety & Health Council  (https://www.oshc.org.hk/eng/main/training/)
• Construction Industry Council (https://www.cic.hk/eng/main/safety-corner/)
• HKIE Safety Specialist Committee (http://ssc.hkie.org.hk/)
• Hong Kong Housing Authority – Site Safety Forum (https://www.housingauthority.gov.hk/mini-site/site-safety/en/safety-promotion-events/site-safety-forums/index.html)

Since 1 January 2019, competence-based approach to CPD activities has been fully implemented as part of CPD requirements for Corporate Members.  Corporate Members are required to undertake, out of the 30 hours per year, at least 5 hours each for two areas of CPD activities, namely “Discipline-Specific Technical Matters” (DSTM) and “Broader Areas of Studies” (BAS) or “General Professional Matters” (GPM).  In 2021, the HKIE further updated the CPD requirements for its members.  Corporate Members are required to attend at least 3 hours per year of CPD activities related to “Health and Safety” (H&S) effective for CPD declaration from 2022 onwards.

Corporate Members are required to complete and return an annual CPD Declaration Form together with the membership subscription advice to the Institution.  A random checking, usually 1% sampling, on all Corporate Members, will be conducted on an annual basis.  Members who are selected for checking will be asked to submit their evidence of CPD. 

The following actions shall be taken in case of non-compliance:

1. Corporate Members will receive a warning letter if they fail to comply with the CPD requirement for the first year that they were selected for sampling, and will be asked to submit their CPD attainment again for the following year; Warning letters will be issued to Corporate Members who fail to comply in two consecutive years. The HKIE Continuing Professional Development Committee (CPDC) will also follow up with those Corporate Members on the reasons of non-compliance;
2. Corporate Members who fail to comply with the CPD requirement again in the second year may be asked to submit their CPD attainment for the following year and be invited to an interview with CPD Committee Representative(s) or to attend specific HKIE CPD activities proposed by the CPDCSP; and
3. Corporate Members who fail to attend the interview or the specific HKIE CPD activities in the third year may have their names published on the HKIE website and the HKIE journal; the frequency of which shall be determined by the CPDC.

For details, please refer to the “Guidance Notes for Mandatory Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for Corporate Members” which is available on the HKIE website at https://www.hkie.org.hk.

The online CPD logbook service is now in operation to provide solely for members of the HKIE to record their personal CPD activities. Members are invited to enter the Member Login area of our website to access to this online free-of-charge CPD logbook for keeping a systemic record of their CPD participation.

For trainees who are under the formal training schemes of the HKIE, they will remain to be required to record their CPD activities in the Record of CPD with endorsement by their Engineering Supervisors.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Member Login Service Support at mlssupport@hkie.org.hk.

The Engineering Council (UK) implemented “SARTOR3” system from 1999. Accredited MEng degrees or accredited BEng degrees plus matching sections are required to satisfy the academic requirements for Chartered Engineers in the United Kingdom. The HKIE is a signatory to the Washington Accord and the HKIE recognizes the accredited MEng or accredited BEng degrees plus matching sections of the Engineering Council (UK) from first intake year 1999 as satisfying the academic requirements for Member of the HKIE.

With effect from 1 March 2004, the “SARTOR3” system has been replaced by the “UK-SPEC”. The Engineering Council (UK) has revised UK-SPEC and has implemented it from 31 December 2021. The academic requirements for Chartered Engineers (CEng) Registration are:

• An accredited Bachelors degree with honours in engineering or technology, plus either an appropriate Masters degree or engineering doctorate accredited by a Licensee*, or appropriate further learning to Masters level
• An accredited integrated MEng degree
• An accredited Bachelors degree with honours in engineering or technology started before September 1999
• Equivalent qualifications or apprenticeships accredited or approved by a Licensee*, or at an equivalent level in a relevant national or international qualifications framework

*Licensee is the engineering institutions that have been licensed by the Engineering Council (UK) to assess individuals for professional registration.

The HKIE shall accept graduates from the UK as satisfying the academic requirements for Member of the Institution if they could provide document proof from the Engineering Council (UK) that they have satisfied the academic requirements (i) to (iii) above for Chartered Engineers (CEng) Registration.

<p>Corporate Members and Associate Members who have been removed from the membership roll (due to resignation or striking off by Council resolution) for more than seven years will be required to submit fresh applications should they wish to re-join the Institution. All other grades of members who have been removed from the membership roll (due to resignation or striking off by Council resolution) for more than three years will be required to submit fresh applications should they wish to re-join the Institution. Subject to the above, the current payment scale for reinstatement of membership other than for non-resident members, is a reinstatement fee of HK$430 (for administration purpose), plus all arrears in subscription. The arrears in subscription shall be subject to a maximum of three years&rsquo; subscriptions prior to the application for reinstatement of membership.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Non-resident members who apply for the reinstatement of membership as non-resident members shall only be required to pay a reinstatement fee of HK$430; all arrears in subscription shall be waived. All other requirements for reinstatement of membership shall remain unchanged.</p>

Starting from Financial Year 2024-2025, Corporate Members (Fellows, Members) and Associate Members can access their e-membership card in the Member Login Area under “Services” > “My Membership Card” five working days after the settlement of membership subscription for that financial year.

In addition to the issue of e-membership card, Corporate and Associate Members in need will be offered a choice of receiving a physical membership card for use upon entering construction sites. The statement “This member of The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers has satisfied the Commissioner for Labour in respect of Section 6BA(4), Cap. 59” will be included in the physical membership card only. Members who wish to receive a physical membership card will need to indicate their preference and make a declaration on satisfying the CPD hours as required related to health & safety for the 12 months preceding the renewal of membership (i.e. since 1 April of the previous year). Upon the settlement of the membership subscription fee and completion of the declaration, the physical membership card will be issued accordingly.
