When a project is designed that requires electrical design and planning, a electrical engineer is hired. This project’s, electrical engineer, will provide a professional stamp on the design documents that indicates their authorization to develop the plans as well as their responsibility for their accuracy and engineering competence. In many instances, the project will require that a special inspector inspect the project to ensure compliance with the EER’s original intent and design drawings. This special inspector will relate any concern or issue on the project, regarding electrical design, to the EER. The EER is capable of accepting field deviations that have been noted by the special inspector.
