2. Engineering and Technical Information Disclaimer
2.1 Not a Substitute for Professional Judgment
The case studies, technical articles, troubleshooting guides, and engineering discussions published on the Site are based on:
- Documented field incidents experienced by the authors or contributors
- Published industry standards and engineering literature
- Generally accepted engineering practices at the time of publication
This information is not a substitute for the judgment of a licensed professional engineer. Every facility, system configuration, operating condition, environmental factor, and regulatory environment is unique. What worked in the case studies described may not work — and may not be safe — in your specific situation.
2.2 Do Not Attempt Without Proper Qualifications
The Site discusses systems that may involve:
- High-voltage electrical equipment
- Pressurized fluid systems (water, refrigerants, compressed air, steam)
- Hazardous chemicals and processes
- Industrial control systems with significant operational impact

Do not attempt any procedure, modification, troubleshooting step, or engineering change discussed on the Site unless you are:
- Properly trained and qualified for the work involved
- Familiar with the specific equipment in your facility
- Authorized by your employer or facility owner to perform the work
- Following all applicable safety procedures, including lockout/tagout (LOTO), arc flash protection, confined space procedures, and any other relevant protocols
- In compliance with local codes, regulations, and licensing requirements
2.3 Independent Verification Required
Before applying any information from the Site to a real-world system, you must:
- Independently verify all technical claims, calculations, and recommendations
- Cross-reference with current manufacturer documentation and specifications
- Consult current versions of applicable industry standards (ISO, ASHRAE, SEMI, IEC, NEC, NFPA, CTI, etc.)
- Obtain review and approval from a licensed professional engineer where appropriate
- Confirm compliance with local building codes and regulations
Industry standards are revised periodically. References to standards in our articles reflect the version current at the time of writing. Always verify against the current edition.
3. No Warranty of Accuracy
While we strive for technical accuracy and update articles when errors are identified, we cannot guarantee that all information is:
- Free from errors, omissions, or outdated content

Compensation from affiliate links does not influence editorial content. Recommendations and technical assessments are made independently of any affiliate relationship.
8. Testimonials and Opinions
Where the Site presents opinions, professional impressions, or comparative assessments (e.g., “Solution A is generally preferred over Solution B for this scenario”), these reflect the views of the authors based on available evidence and experience at the time of writing.
Opinions:
- Are clearly identified as such in articles
- Should not be interpreted as facts or universal recommendations
- May not reflect the consensus of the broader engineering community

9. No Confidential Relationship
Use of the Site, including correspondence sent through the Contact page, does not create a professional engineering relationship, attorney-client relationship, or any other confidential or fiduciary relationship between you and EngCase. Information you share via the Contact page is not protected by professional privilege.
10. Industry Standards and Regulatory Compliance
References to industry standards (such as ISO 14644, ASHRAE 90.1, SEMI F49, IEC 61131, NEC, NFPA 70E, CTI ATC-105, and others) are provided to indicate the engineering basis for case study discussions. They are not a substitute for direct consultation of the standards themselves.
Standards documents are copyrighted by their respective organizations and must be obtained through official channels. EngCase does not distribute, reproduce, or summarize standards in a manner that substitutes for the original documents.
11. Geographic and Regulatory Scope
The Site discusses engineering practices that may be applicable in some jurisdictions but not others. Building codes, electrical codes, equipment certifications, and safety regulations vary by country, region, and even by municipality.
