What self-employed persons should consider
You have downloaded our certification application form. Are you self-employed? Then you need to consider a few points.
Experience time
You can prove the experience time by submitting a list of your clients. The template for a possible customer reference list can be found here. Please enter at least one company with its name, address, contact person and the date or duration of the activity.
Approval according to European Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU
If you
- have a valid certificate according to DIN EN ISO 9712 from SECTOR Cert,
- have worked with pressure equipment for at least 60 working days within 12 months,
- have gained this experience over the last 5 years,
then you can have this experience confirmed by a pressure equipment manufacturer or operator or a notified body under point 8 of the application.
Visual acuity
When proving sufficient visual acuity, you cannot confirm the date of the last vision test yourself, but only an ophthalmologist or optician. Please attach a copy of your current certificate of visual acuity to your certification application. For reasons of data protection, this will be destroyed immediately after verification.
Recertification: evidence of continued practical ability
If you are planning a recertification, you can also submit proof of continued practical ability like employees. The template document can be found here.
