RegCheck searches the Engineering Council Register, which records the individuals entitled to use the professional titles CEng, IEng, EngTech and ICTTech. Those titles are protected under the council’s Royal Charter; engineering practice itself is not reserved by law, so registration is not a licence to work as an engineer.
Domain Rating is a dated Ahrefs snapshot of domain authority. PetroHrys Score is an independent editorial assessment of the directory’s practical business value. They are separate measurements and are never combined. Domain Rating values are dated historical Ahrefs snapshots. Domain Rating is a dated historical measurement of the shared domain, not an assessment of this individual registry page. New measurements are not collected because the Research Center does not depend on mandatory authenticated APIs. Where several registries are published on one measured domain they repeat that domain’s single dated snapshot rather than each carrying a figure of its own. Domain Rating is a third-party metric produced by their respective providers, not by PetroHrys.com. Each recorded value carries its provider and the date it was measured, and describes the domain that was measured rather than one page on it. No source has been consulted for authority score, estimated traffic and referring domains, so they are not published for any record.
Partly open The RegCheck page was served anonymously with no credential, so login is recorded as not required. No query was executed, so result content and any limits were not observed and stay null. The council states that a search requires an exact match, which is a documented behaviour rather than one observed here.
Assessment
Strengths
It is the register held by the body responsible for the UK engineering profession, rather than any one institution’s membership list.
The titles it records are protected under the council’s Royal Charter, so a confirmed entry has a definite meaning.
It includes people who registered in the past or hold inactive registrations, so a historical check is possible as well as a current one.
Limitations
It protects titles, not an activity, and the protection comes from a Royal Charter rather than from statute. Registration is not required to work as an engineer.
Search requires an exact match to the record held, so the council itself warns that an unexpected nil result does not establish that someone is unregistered.
Assessment is carried out by licensed professional engineering institutions rather than by the council directly, so an entry reflects an institution’s assessment as much as a central decision.
It registers individual practitioners, not employers. An engineering business is not registered here, so the register does not establish anything about the company an engineer works for.
No search was executed during verification, so result content, coverage and any rate limit were not observed and none is asserted.

Best for
Checking whether an individual currently holds a UK engineering professional title such as CEng, IEng or EngTech.
Verifying a title claim where the exact registered name is known.
Not recommended for
Establishing that someone may lawfully work as an engineer. Engineering practice is not generally reserved by law in the United Kingdom, and registration is not a licence to practise.
Concluding from a nil result that a person is unregistered. The council states that a search requires an exact match, so an unexpected result does not mean the person is not registered.

Establishing required submission assets requires submitting a listing and observing the result. That has not been done for any directory in this dataset, so it is not published rather than estimated.

The PetroHrys Score is a first-party editorial assessment, not a third-party
authority metric. It is the weighted sum of the ten factors above, divided by ten, so the number
on this page is reproducible from the values shown. Each factor is scored from 0 to 10 by a human reviewer and weighted as shown. The definitions describe what was weighed, not a rubric: no threshold or formula maps a directory onto a value, and two reviewers could reach different numbers. The score is reproducible from the factors shown on every record, but it is an editorial judgement, not a measurement.
