The Engineering Council is delighted to announce that the Institute of Corrosion (ICorr) has become a licensed professional engineering institution with approval to assess its members for professional registration as Chartered Engineer (CEng), Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and Engineering Technician (EngTech) on the Engineering Council’s national Register.
Founded in 1959, ICorr has been a Professional Affiliate since 2001. ICorr serves the corrosion science, technology and engineering community in the fight against corrosion. Central to this is ICorr’s promotion of good corrosion management practice, the advancement of corrosion control measures and awareness at all stages of design, fabrication and operation across various sectors.
Engineering Council CEO, Paul Bailey, said: “The Licensed Professional Engineering Institutions represent engineers and technicians from across all industries. As the UK’s leading professional organisation dedicated to the science and engineering of corrosion control and prevention, I’m delighted that members of the Institute of Corrosion will now have the opportunity to have their engineering competence and commitment to upholding safe, ethical and sustainable practices formally recognised. The award of the Engineering Council licence recognises the Institute’s strong commitment to promoting best practice and standards development in the field of corrosion management and we look forward to working with ICorr in the promotion of professional excellence.”
ICorr President, Dr Yunnan Gao, commented: “The Institute of Corrosion is honoured to have been granted licensed status by the Engineering Council, enabling us to independently assess and recommend our members for inclusion on the Engineering Council’s Register at all levels: EngTech, IEng and CEng.
This significant milestone reflects the increasing recognition of corrosion science and engineering as essential to the integrity, sustainability, and safety of the built environment. It further reinforces ICorr’s vision to advance the science and engineering of corrosion prevention for the public benefit. We look forward to playing a greater role in supporting professional excellence and upholding the highest standards within the engineering community.”
