Property Management Services Authority
Announces Professional Body Recognised
The Property Management Services Authority (PMSA) announced today that the Honorary Fellows, Fellows and Members of the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) Hong Kong Region have been added to its list of Recognised Professional Bodies (RPBs). These memberships are in compliance with the requirement concerning professional qualification for the Property Management Practitioner (PMP) (Tier 1) licence issued by the PMSA.
Chairperson of the PMSA Dr James WONG said, “The PMSA welcomes CIBSE Hong Kong Region’s application and its recognition as a PMSA RPB successfully. We look forward to working together on regulating by licensing, formulating Codes of Conduct and encouraging continuing professional development to enhance the status and professional service standard of the property management (PM) industry in Hong Kong.”
The PMSA examines CIBSE’s application based on five criteria, namely, its relevance to the PM profession in Hong Kong, membership criteria, mechanism to regulate professional conduct, requirement on members’ continuing professional development, as well as recognition of the organisation within the industry.
Under the PM industry licensing regime, one of the criteria for holding a PMP (Tier 1) licence is that the applicant has to hold a designated class of membership of a PMSA RPB.
