Certificate Renewal Requirements
The renewal requirement are to promote continuing education and keep current with
latest inspection development and practices. We believe that it is important that
persons involved in pressure equipment safety continue to keep current in both technical
and legal requirements. We do expect, and the legislation requires, that owners ensure
that their employees are competent. The renewal requirements reinforce the expectations
to the inspectors and provide ABSA with some evidence that this is happening.
An In-Service Inspector’s Certificate of Competency is issued for a period of five
(5) years and is required to be renewed for continuous certification. A certificate
of competency will no longer be valid if it is allowed to expire. If
the certificate is not valid, it is ILLEGAL to inspect or certify pressure equipment
in any capacity allowed by the certificate.
Alberta Certified In-Service Inspector Online Directory is available to check for
valid inspector certification.
Re-certification Process
It is the responsibility of the certificate holder to renew his/her certificate for
continued certification. ABSA will be sending reminder letters to certificate holders
nine (9) weeks before the certificate expires.
The certificate holder should submit the completed renewal form, AB-098, together
with the renewal fee stated on the form, at least 21 days before the certificate’s
expiry date to initiate the renewal process.
Renewal Requirements
The three (3) key requirements for re-certification are:
-
in-service pressure equipment inspection experience,
-
continuing education in pressure equipment, and
-
successfully passing a re-certification examination.
