The conditions to determine germs of Engel structures relative to arbitrary subsets are studied. We show that germs of Engel structures at a point relative to an arbitrary subset are determined by the algebraic restrictions of the Engel structures themselves to the subset, and the projected algebraic restrictions of the derived even-contact structures to the subset. When the subset is a smooth submanifold, algebraic restriction is equivalent to geometric restriction. Even when the subset is a smooth submanifold, we need a new stricter notion, projected algebraic restriction.
