Engineers andGeoscientists BC must authorize and endorse the Digital Certificatetechnology used in conjunction with the electronically applied Seal inorder to provide confirmation with Engineers and Geoscientists BC’s bestpractices regarding security, protection of Document integrity, and proofof authenticity.Direct SupervisionThe Act defines Direct Supervision as the responsibility for the controland conduct of the engineering or geoscience work of a subordinate.Document(s)Includes, but is not limited to, reports, letter reports, certificates, designbriefs, memos, field memos, specifications, drawings, maps, plans, andsome Shop Drawings that provide recommendations, designs, directions,estimates, calculations, opinions, interpretations, or observations thatinvolve technical engineering or geoscience matters in hard copy, email,or digital format.The term “Document” has an extended meaning and includes aphotograph, film, recording of sound, any record of a permanent or semipermanent character, and any information recorded or stored by means ofany device (B.C. Reg. 168/2009).With regard to Sealing, electronic Documents and hard copy Documentsare considered the same.Electronic SealVERSION 2.0A digital version of a Seal that represents a true replica of the inkimpression or embossing of the Seal issued by Engineers andGeoscientists BC, with no material variation in size, format, or wording.QUALITY MANAGEMENT GUIDELINESUSE OF SEAL1
