BP's popular series of chemical process safety titles are to be published and distributed by the IChemE.
Chemical engineers play an integral role in delivering sustainable process technology and environmental protection.
IChemE joined the Society for the Environment (SocEnv) in 2004 and was granted a licence to issue the CEnv qualification last September.
IChemE is represented on the Society's board by past-President Steve Vranch and the Institution's Director of Membership, Neil Atkinson.
Atkinson said: "Professional chemical engineers must demonstrate a strong commitment to the development and operation of sustainable industrial processes".
"At the same time, environmental protection must be at the top of their agenda".
"The use of the designatory letters, 'CEnv', provides a clear indication of this commitment and the initial response has been very positive".
The qualification criteria for CEnv are rigorous and prospective applicants must meet several requirements including full membership of IChemE or another constituent body of SocEnv.
In addition, applicants must demonstrate, through qualifications and experience, their competence, knowledge and engagement in sustainable environmental management.
Compliance with a code of ethics is also required.
After September 2005 the application process will include the submission of a technical report and a professional peer review interview.
But early applicants can take advantage of a special "grandparenting" scheme.
Corporate Members applying before September will be exempted from the technical report and peer review interview.
Admission to membership of SocEnv will be considered on the basis of a formal written application that will be evaluated against the qualification criteria.
