Match Confidence
0.76
Match Reasoning
Via class 'Full Responsibility Assumption Obligation': The existing Responsible Charge Verification Obligation covers the duty to conduct comprehensive verification before sealing. The present obligation emphasizes the assumption of full professional responsibility as a condition of sealing, which is a related but distinct emphasis on accountability rather than verification process. Matched as a variant at medium confidence.

In either case, we are not of the view that an engineer must personally prepare the drawings, plans and other documents involved.
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.
