Qualification requirements for the entities responsible for preparing the feasibility study report
Thread Content
**The latest Regulations on the Management of the Engineering Consulting Industry stipulate that an advisory registration system is to be implemented for engineering consulting firms. Does this mean that no qualifications are required for preparing feasibility studies? Thank you!
No, although the \"Regulations on the Management of the Engineering Consulting Industry\" adopt a notification-based registration system, specific types of feasibility studies, such as those for major projects as specified, still require clear qualification requirements. It is necessary to specifically check the regulations for the relevant field or project. .
Previously, it was the **Development and Reform Commission** that issued the qualification certificates for engineering consulting firms； In recent years, some of the management functions and authorities of government departments have been delegated; the China Engineering Consulting Association now takes charge of industry self-regulation and issues qualification certificates for engineering consulting firms. The requirements regarding such firms’ qualification certificates and their respective grades for various consulting projects remain unchanged.
The original query sent to the National Development and Reform Commission read as follows: I have reviewed the relevant policies issued previously; now, the requirement for obtaining project qualification certifications has been abolished. According to the \"Regulations on the Management of the Engineering Consulting Industry\" (Order No. 9 of 2017 issued by the National Development and Reform Commission of the People’s Republic of China), engineering consulting firms are subject to a system of informational registration only. I would like to ask whether it is possible to prepare the feasibility study report for government-funded projects on one’s own, or whether such reports must be prepared by qualified firms. The National Development and Reform Commission’s final response was: \"Hello, it is up to the project owner to decide who will prepare the feasibility study report for government-funded projects; this is considered a market-based decision.\" “Thank you for your concern and support for the work related to development and reform!” I’m not sure how to interpret this.
It is up to the project entity to decide who will prepare the feasibility study report for government investment, and this is considered a market-based decision.
