Which body determines the contents of the licensure examination for chemical engineers?

• A. Commission on Higher Education
• B. Professional Regulation Commission
• C. Department of Education
• D. ChE Regulatory Board

Answer: (D)

Licensure exam content is set by the professional regulatory board for the field, not by education policy bodies. For chemical engineering, the Chemical Engineering Regulatory Board determines the topics, scope, and reference materials that will appear on the licensure exam, ensuring the test reflects current practice and safety standards. The Professional Regulation Commission administers the exam and grants licenses, but it relies on the board to define what is tested. Educational bodies like CHED and DepEd handle program accreditation and basic education, respectively, rather than licensure content. So the board responsible for chemical engineering is the one that determines what the licensure exam covers.
