Where must the stamp or seal be stored to comply with regulations?

The stamp or seal must be stored in a restricted area controlled by the Professional Technologist (P. Tech) to ensure compliance with regulations. This requirement is in place to maintain security and prevent unauthorized access or misuse of the stamp or seal, which is often associated with professional certifications and approvals. Storing it in a restricted area allows for better management and accountability, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access it. This controls the risk of fraud or unprofessional use, thereby upholding the integrity of the professional practice.

Other options suggest less secure storage methods, which would not adequately protect the stamp or seal from potential misuse or compromise. A public office or a location accessible to all staff does not provide the necessary level of security required for such a sensitive tool. Storing the stamp at ASET headquarters might not align with local practice requirements, as the storage should ideally be managed at the individual's place of work where they have direct control over it.
