Abstract
The purpose of certification is to promote health and patient safety through the certification and continuous assessment of the skills of professional engineers who work in health care by applying engineering expertise to the care and management of patients. In Italy it is currently in progress a process of defining common rules for recognizing the figures of biomedical and clinical engineer and for the certification of the skills of engineers. This process is the result of collaboration between the committees of biomedical engineering of the territorial Associations of Professional Engineers, a national group of coordination of such committees, and the National Council of Engineers.
