Under the IRR of RA 9297, the term 'Board' refers to which body?

• A. Board of Examiners for Chemical Engineering
• B. Board of the Professional Regulations Commission
• C. Board of Convenors
• D. Board of Chemical Engineering

Answer: (A)

The main idea is understanding which body the IRR of RA 9297 assigns to handle licensure and regulation for chemical engineers. In this framework, the term refers to the Board of Examiners for Chemical Engineering—the regulatory body responsible for administering licensure examinations, evaluating and registering professionals, and enforcing standards under the Professional Regulations Commission. The Professional Regulations Commission oversees the boards in general, but the specific functions for licensure and regulation of chemical engineers are carried out by the Board of Examiners for Chemical Engineering. The other options don’t reflect the established designation in the IRR, as there isn’t a separate “Board of Convenors” or a distinct “Board of Chemical Engineering” used in this context, and the PRC itself is not the entity described by that term.
