Match Reasoning
Via class 'Detailed Review Sealing Obligation': This obligation is a close match to the existing Responsible Charge Seal Obligation, which requires a licensed engineer to apply their seal only to work products they have personally reviewed with sufficient depth and competence. The present obligation adds the clarification that personal preparation is not required but detailed review is, which is a refinement of the same core duty rather than a distinct new concept.

The key requirement is that an engineer possesses sufficient competence, assumes full responsibility for the work product and carefully directs, controls and reviews the material prepared under the engineer's responsible charge.
We would conclude that it was not unethical for the engineer in that instance to seal plans that were not personally prepared by him as long as those plans were checked and reviewed by the engineer in some detail.
