{{Short description|Professional designation indicating deep expertise}} A '''chartered''' professional is a person who has gained a specific level of skill or competence in a particular field of work, which has been recognised by the award of a formal credential by a relevant professional organization.<ref>{{cite book|title=Understanding occupational regulation|publisher=UK Commission for Employment and Skills|date=1 March 2013 |url=https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/305443/evidence-report-67-understanding-occupational-regulation.pdf|page=65|author1=Penny Tamkin|author2=Linda Miller|author3=Joy Williams|author4=Paul Casey| accessdate=16 June 2016}}</ref> Chartered status is considered a mark of professional competency, and is awarded mainly by chartered professional bodies and learned societies. It is common in Britain but is also used in Ireland, the United States and the Commonwealth, and has been adopted by organisations around the world.
Chartered status originates from royal charters issued to professional bodies in the UK by the British Monarch, although such is the prestige and credibility of a chartered designation that some non-UK organisations have taken to issuing chartered designations without Royal or Parliamentary approval. In the UK, chartered titles may still only be awarded by institutions that have been incorporated under royal charter, with the permission of the Privy Council.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.archaeologists.net/charter/faqs|title=IfA and Charter; FAQs|publisher=Chartered Institute for Archaeologists|accessdate=16 June 2016|quote="'''When will there be a 'chartered archaeologist'?'''

An important point to note is that this standard is set in conjunction with the relevant Government Departments and may not be changed without their agreement. This is the essential way in which these Chartered bodies differ from an ordinary professional association, and the feature of their constitution from which they derive their status as competent authorities for the professional titles and designatory letters listed in the implementing regulations.}} (Quote from 1999 letter from the Department of Trade and Industry)</ref> Some chartered statuses in Ireland are regulated professional titles under European professional qualification directives, as were many in the UK until Brexit.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://ec.europa.eu/growth/tools-databases/regprof/professions/bycountry|title=Registers Professions Database|access-date=3 April 2025|website=Europa|at=PROFESSIONS WITH KEYWORD Chartered PROFESSIONS REGULATED IN COUNTRY Ireland}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.naric.org.uk/uk%20ncp/individuals/Regulated%20professional%20titles%20and%20designatory%20letters.aspx|title=Registered Professional Titles|website= National Contact Point for Professional Qualifications in the United Kingdom|publisher=UK NARIC|accessdate=26 May 2016}}</ref>
The full title used differs from profession to profession and is normally of the form "Chartered Profession", for example, Chartered Engineer and Chartered Accountant.
==Standing and usage==
Chartered status is generally considered a terminal qualification in a particular profession. In some fields professional bodies also offer lower level qualifications, such as Incorporated Engineer (IEng), Engineering Technician (EngTech) or Registered Scientist (RSci). The status is not the same as the senior membership grade of Fellow in many professional institutes and learned societies, which is usually a measure of achievement or standing in a profession rather than a professional qualification based on assessment of competencies.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iop.org/membership/join/fellow/page_51405.html|title=Fellow|publisher=Institute of Physics|accessdate=18 June 2016}}</ref><ref name=targetjobs>{{cite web|url=https://targetjobs.co.uk/career-sectors/engineering/282495-becoming-a-chartered-or-incorporated-engineer-after-starting-a-graduate-job|title=Becoming a chartered or incorporated engineer after starting a graduate job|publisher=Target Jobs|accessdate=18 June 2016}}</ref><ref name=Science>{{cite web|url=https://www.science.org/content/article/becoming-chartered-scientist|title=Becoming a Chartered Scientist|publisher=Science|accessdate=18 June 2016}}</ref><ref name=CII>{{cite web|url=https://www.cii.co.uk/membership/chartered/individual-chartered-status/|title=Individual Chartered Status|publisher=Chartered Insurance Institute|accessdate=18 June 2016}}</ref>
Chartered status is a form of accreditation, with there being a grant of a protected title but no requirement to be chartered in order to practice a profession (making it distinct from licensing).<ref>{{cite book|url=https://www.google.com.pr/url=https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/343671/bis-14-1001-impact-assessment-of-the-horizontal-amendments-to-the-mutual-recognition-of-professional-qualifications-directive-pqd.pdf|title=Impact Assessment of the Horizontal Amendments to the Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications Directive (PQD)|page=27|quote="The UK also operates a system that allows some professions to use the 'Chartered' title.

In the UK, chartered professional titles may only be trademarked if issued by a body holding a royal charter and which has permission under its charter to grant that title. Chartered professional titles are normally only permitted to be registered as collective trade marks. Guidance provided by the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office is that the use of the word "chartered" in a trademark by a non-chartered organisation "would mislead the public into believing that the association and its members have chartered status".<ref>{{cite book|url=https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/collective-and-certification-trade-marks|title=Guidance on collective and certification trade marks |page=5|publisher=Intellectual Property Office|date=29 April 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|url=https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/manual-of-trade-marks-practice|title=Manual of trade marks practice|date=31 March 2016|pages = 101–102, 304|publisher=Intellectual Property Office}}</ref>
In the US, "chartered" is considered a descriptive term, thus trademarks using "chartered" along with a descriptive title for the profession may only be registered on the principal register if they can be demonstrated to have acquired distinctiveness through exclusive usage in trade for at least five years.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tsdr.uspto.gov/documentviewer?caseId=sn79063255&docId=RFR20100910170349#docIndex=11&page=1|title=Request for Reconsideration after Final Action|publisher=U.S. Patent and Trademark Office|accessdate=3 July 2016|date=10 September 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://tsdr.uspto.gov/documentviewer?caseId=sn86591803&docId=RFR20160303170703#docIndex=7&page=1|title=Request for Reconsideration after Final Action|publisher=U.S. Patent and Trademark Office|accessdate=3 July 2016|date=3 March 2016}}</ref> Alternatively, they may be registered on the supplemental register.

In the US ''Chartered'' qualifications are offered by private education providers such as The American College of Financial Services and the Global Academy of Finance & Management (formerly the American Academy of Financial Management). Unlike chartered qualifications in most countries, these are not issued under a royal/government charter or legislation. The UK Intellectual Property Office refused a trademark application for the US Chartered Financial Analyst qualification on the grounds that it was not granted by a body with a royal charter and therefore had the potential to be deceptive.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ipo.gov.uk/t-challenge-decision-results/t-challenge-decision-results-bl?BL_Number=O/315/06|title=Trade mark decision|publisher=Intellectual Property Office|date=31 October 2006|accessdate=21 June 2016}}</ref>
==Historical development==
While the concept of royal charters dates back to the eleventh century, the idea of someone being a chartered professional only dates to the 19th century. The first chartered professionals were accountants in Scotland. The Society of Accountants in Edinburgh (now part of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland) was founded in 1853 and the title Chartered Accountant was in use by 1855.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.icas.com/ca-today-news/accountants-who-made-their-mark-on-history|title=Accountants who made their mark on history| publisher=Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland|accessdate=26 June 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Edinburgh Gazette |work=Caledonian Herald |date=18 June 1855|accessdate=26 June 2016 |url=http://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000045/18550618/019/0004| via = British Newspaper Archive|url-access=subscription }}</ref> The title spread to England and Wales with the granting of a charter to the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales in 1880<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.icaew.com/en/library/historical-resources/icaew-history/the-mystery-of-the-missing-members|title=The mystery of the missing members|author=Peter Boys|work=Accounting, Business & Financial History|date=March 2004|accessdate=26 June 2016}}</ref> and to Ireland with the chartering of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland in 1888.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.charteredaccountants.ie/General/About-Us/|title=About Us|publisher=Chartered Accountants Ireland|accessdate=28 June 2016}}</ref>

In the Commonwealth, the title Chartered Accountant was adopted by Acts of Parliament in Canada in 1902 and in South Africa in 1927.
