1.3.1 Level I- -A Level I individual shall be qualified to properly

perform specific calibrations, tests and evaluations for
acceptance or rejection determinations according to written
instructions and to record results. Necessary instructions and
supervision shall be received from a certified Level II or Level III
individual.

1.3.2 Level II- -A Level II individual shall be qualified to set up and

calibrate equipment and to interpret and evaluate results with
respect to applicable codes, standards and specifications. A
Level II shall be thoroughly familiar with the scope and
limitations of the mothods for which he is qualified and shall

trainees and Level I personnel. A Level II shall be able to prepare
written instructions and to organize and report the results of
tests.

2.0 VISION REQUIREMENTS

2.1 Each candidate for Level I or Level II certification shall be examined for
color vision and near vision acuity on an annual basic.

2.2 The candidate shall be capable of reading the J-1 letters on a standard
Jaeger’s or equivalent type test chart for near vision at a distance of
twelve (12) inches. The ability to perceive an ortho-rater minimum of
eight (8) or similar test pattern is also acceptable.

2.3 The candidate shall be capable of distinguishing the primary color involved in this
method of testing.
