Standard Practice for Certification of Personnel Engaged in the Testing of Soil and Rock

Importancia y uso:

4.1 This practice provides basic criteria for the development and operation of a certification organization, selection of examination material for a written examination, and the scope and details of a performance test. The qualifications of the examiner and limitations on the relationship between the examiner and the examinee are given in this practice.

4.2 The basic criteria provided by this practice is intended to be supplemented by more specific criteria serving the requirements of the certification organization.

4.3 It is unrealistic and unintended that each individual be certified for every test the employing agency performs. Rather, it should be a goal of an agency that a majority of personnel normally performing a given test are certified. Depending on the purpose of the testing, it may be appropriate for the client to specify whether or not a certified technician should perform a given test.

4.4 Although this practice calls for certification specific to a single ASTM test method, it is not intended the certification organization avoid grouping related test methods in the interest of efficiency.
