ARX Inc., a leading provider of digital
signature solutions for the AEC industry, has recently released its
much anticipated PE
Board Regulation map, which highlights the status of e-submission
regulations among Professional Engineering Boards in each of the fifty
U.S. states. The map also comes complete with e-submission
guidelines for each state. The last publicly available compilation
of PE board regulations was published in 2005 and there has been
significant progress since then, as additional states now accept
digitally signed e-submissions. This updated publication offers a
valuable resource as an increasing number of AEC firms adopt digital
signatures as a business automation tool.
“Putting together the regulations map and guidelines was a significant
effort that required a lot of research”
Digital
signatures in Engineering play a valuable role as enablers of
significantly expedited business processes. AEC firms in particular are
commonly victims to paper-based delays due to geographically dispersed
and often traveling engineers among which drawings must be routed in
order to obtain required authorizations. With digital signatures that
support professional stamps and seals, engineering drawings and
documents can remain electronic, eliminating the costly and
time-consuming hassle of printing, manually routing, wet signing, and
archiving paper documents. With the vast majority of states now
accepting digitally signed e-submissions, drawings can remain electronic
at all stages, for the entire project cycle.
With the PE Board Regulation map and guidelines now available to the
public, Engineering organizations can easily and sufficiently obtain the
information they need on the legislation and regulations pertaining to
the legality of digital signatures across the U.S.
Putting together the regulations map and guidelines was a significant
effort that required a lot of research, explains Gadi Aharoni, CEO,
ARX. It was important to us to provide any Engineering firm with the
information they need as they consider digital signatures.
