RPEQ CERTIFICATION
Safety and compliance through Registered Professional Engineer Queensland (RPEQ) certification is our core business. RPEQ certification is a quality assurance mechanism which ensures machines and structures are suitably compliant to applicable Standards, fit-for-purpose, and meet health and safety obligations. The RPEQ certification process varies according to the contractual and legislative requirements required. In particular, design verification, is a national requirement for listed items of plant.
