What must be done before a P. Tech can stamp a document not created by them?

A P. Tech must complete a thorough review of any document before stamping it, even if they were not the original creator. This requirement ensures that the P. Tech understands the content and context of the document, allowing them to take responsibility for the accuracy and integrity of the work being presented. This practice is essential in maintaining professional standards and liability, as the stamp signifies that the P. Tech takes ownership of the document's compliance with applicable codes, regulations, and quality standards.

While submission for external approval, informing the original creator, and logging it in a records system may be important practices in various contexts, they do not directly address the essential duty of ensuring the document's accuracy and appropriateness before affixing the P. Tech's seal. The thorough review establishes a necessary diligence that upholds the profession's standards and integrity.
