11 February 2026

The 57th ACPECC Meeting was held on 2 February 2026 in Singapore, chaired by Engr. Francis V. Mapile (Philippines), with participation from all 10 ASEAN Member States (AMS), including Indonesia and Viet Nam virtually. The Meeting also noted Timor-Leste’s accession to ASEAN and its ongoing process to join the CCS MRA Committee.

Under the MRA on Engineering Services, AMS reviewed registration requirements for foreign professional engineers and agreed that remaining AMS will submit their registration processes for further discussion. Updates were also noted on Assessment Statements and Monitoring Committees.

A total of 337 new ACPE applications were approved, bringing the cumulative number to 9,725 approved and 9,674 active ACPEs. The Secretariat reported progress on the development of the ACPE e-Certificate system and requested AMS to nominate focal points for pilot testing. No new RFPE registrations were recorded, with the total remaining at 31, while discussions continued on simplifying procedures to enhance mobility.

The Meeting further noted developments under the Technical Working Group on Mobility of ASEAN Engineers (TWG-MAE), including engineering awards, capacity-building initiatives, internship and exchange programmes, website updates, and the preparation of the 2026–2030 ACPECC workplan. The 58th ACPECC Meeting is tentatively scheduled for June 2026 in Thailand.
