The ASEAN Mutual Recognition Arrangement on Engineering Services is a significant agreement signed by the Ministers of Trade from 10 ASEAN Member States in Kuala Lumpur on December 9, 2005. This arrangement aims to enhance the mobility and recognition of engineering professionals across the region by establishing a standardized framework for the recognition of engineering qualifications and certifications.

Under this arrangement, the Indonesia Monitoring Committee on Engineering Services (IMC) plays a crucial role in developing, processing, and managing the ASEAN Chartered Professional Engineer Register (ACPER). The main objective of the IMC is to ensure that Indonesian engineers are recognized and respected across ASEAN countries, thereby facilitating their professional mobility and contributing to the region's economic growth and development.

For Indonesian engineers, the ASEAN Mutual Recognition Arrangement on Engineering Services offers numerous benefits, including increase recognition and credibility of their qualifications and certifications, enhance career opportunities, and improve professional mobility within the ASEAN region. This arrangement also promotes the sharing of knowledge, expertise, and best practices among engineers from different ASEAN countries, ultimately enhancing the quality and competitiveness of engineering services in the region.
