Documented accountability
If something goes wrong with the design or execution, there's an identifiable, technically responsible professional — not an informal, untraceable job.
00 Technical accountability
What is ART (Anotação de Responsabilidade Técnica)?
ART is the document that formally registers, with CREA, which engineer is technically responsible for your electrical, mechanical or solar project — and why that protects you.
What ART is
ART stands for Anotação de Responsabilidade Técnica (Technical Accountability Record). It's the instrument defined by Brazil's Confea/Crea system through which a registered engineer, architect or technician formally states, before the professional council, that they are technically responsible for a specific project, execution, maintenance or consulting service. Each relevant engineering service — an electrical project, a structural calculation, a photovoltaic installation — can have its own ART.
In practice, ART officially records who signed off technically on that service, what it covers, and ties that professional to the legal responsibility for what was delivered.
Why it matters to you
Commonly required by banks, insurers and notaries
Financing, property registration and insurance policies often require the service's ART as proof it was carried out by a licensed professional.
Compliance with technical standards
A service with ART tends to follow the applicable technical standards (NBR, NR), because the responsible professional is formally tied to the outcome.
How LAMP applies this
Every LAMP project or execution — electrical, mechanical or solar — ships with ART issued by a CREA-registered engineer. See our services or the solar energy page.
Questions about the ART
What clients ask us most about technical accountability.
Does every engineering service need an ART?
Every service that carries engineering accountability, yes. In practice, if there is a professional answering technically for what was done, there is an ART recording it. We tell you in the quote whether your case requires one — and if it does not, we say that too.
What happens if the work has no ART?
It has no registered engineer of record. That exposes you on three fronts at once: inspection, insurance cover, and civil liability if something goes wrong. The money saved by skipping the ART tends to resurface on precisely the day you would have needed it.
Can the ART be filed after the work is finished?
The ART exists to record who oversaw the service — which is why it belongs to the before and the during, not to a document issued at the end to close a gap. A form signed by someone who was never on site protects nobody, even when it is formally correct.
Does the ART belong to the company or to the engineer?
To the engineer. It ties one specific professional, registered with CREA, to that service. That is why it matters who signs — and in our case, the person signing is one of the partners who follows the work.
