30 Tex. Admin. Code § 30.507 - Field Training and Testing Requirements

(a) Field training shall:

(1) provide repetition of any field instructions, given at the lecture session, to those attendees attempting recertification who have not had to attend the lecture;

(2) provide familiarization plumes shown before the start of each black portion and each white portion of the field test;

(3) provide for completion of one test run for new students prior to taking a test for certification. The training run shall consist of 25 black readings and 25 white readings, and be given exactly as a regular certification test run. The training run cannot be accepted from the new student as certification, even if the score is within the passing parameters. This training run will be kept on file for three years; and

(4) allow attendees that are attempting recertification to take the training run described above before certification.

(b) Field testing shall include:

(1) a complete run which consists of 50 contiguous plumes;

(2) a random order of opacity from 0% to 100%;

(3) avoidance of adverse weather; i.e., drizzle, rain, fog, or high winds; and

(4) a certificate issued to those students that successfully pass the test that contains the name of the provider, title of certification (to include a term similar to "visible emissions evaluator"), the name of the student, and the date of successful certification. The provider shall number each certificate so that each certificate is unique and not duplicated.
