Article 4 Issuance of certificates to personnel
United Kingdom
A certification body as referred to in Article 5 shall issue a certificate to personnel who have passed a theoretical and practical examination organised by an evaluation body as referred to in Article 6, covering the minimum skills and knowledge set out in the Annex.
The certificate shall contain at least the following:
the name of the certification body, the full name of the holder, a certificate number, and the date of expiry if any;
the activity which the holder of the certificate is entitled to perform;
issuing date and issuer’s signature.
Where an existing examination-based certification system covers the minimum skills and knowledge set out in the Annex and meets the requirements of Articles 5 and 6, but the related attestation does not contain the elements laid down in paragraph 2 of this Article, a certification body referred to in Article 5 may issue a certificate to the holder of this qualification without repeating examination.
Where an existing examination based certification system meets the requirements of Articles 5 and 6 and partially covers the minimum skills as set out in the Annex, certification bodies may issue a certificate provided that the applicant passes a supplementary examination, of the skills and knowledge not covered by the existing certification, organised by an evaluation body referred to in Article 6.
