I have added a new page to the website with selected quotes from the dictionary of chemical engineering practice which I wrote to assist with terminology around what a Professional, Chartered, Qualified, Competent, Responsible, Authorized, Certified Engineer looks like (see photo for one example).
As well as offering clarity on this point, this dictionary of chemical engineering practice should be of use to anyone seeking to understand what the terminology used by chemical and water engineers means within the profession.
Whilst it is of course for the courts to decide what terms mean, doing so without understanding the differences between everyday or legal language, and the terms used within the profession is prone to gross misunderstanding. I have been engaged in expert witness cases which hinged entirely on the meaning of such terms.
