The apex body of engineering professionals in Sri Lanka. IESL awards credentials such as the Chartered Engineer - CEng (SL), AMIE (SL) enabling one to practice as a licensed engineer in the country. We are also the sole credentialing authority of engineering degrees offered in Sri Lanka, including for the internationally recognised Washington accord. Incorporated in 1968 by the Parliament Act No.17, IESL is the largest engineers’ organization in Sri Lanka with over 25,000 members. We are actively engaged in providing engineering perspectives on issues of national significance to the government and the general public. For more information, click here
Registration of Engineers in the Directory of Structural Engineers 2021/2022
In order for civil chartered engineers to be eligible to carry out structural design of buildings and to certify such designs for the UDA, provincial and local authorities, it is necessary for such engineers to be listed in the Directory of Structural Engineers that the IESL is publishing annually. This requirement is made mandatory even for designing and certifying designs for buildings up to 4 Floors, because of the many complaints received by IESL in respect of unscrupulous non-chartered civil engineers who are using the ‘Chartered Engineer’ seals obtained illegally.
