Type I — small appliancesDifficulty 2/5
A technician passes a mail-in Type I test and now wants Universal certification. What is the effect of that mail-in pass?
- AIt counts toward Universal after a waiting period set by the certifying organisation
- BIt cannot be counted toward Universal, so the Type I test must be taken again proctored
- CIt counts toward Universal provided the remaining tests are taken under a proctor
- DIt counts toward Universal only if the score achieved was above eighty-four percent
Show answer and rationale
Correct: B. Appendix D states that mail-in format Type I tests cannot be used toward a Universal certification, and EPA adds that an open-book Core test cannot count either. Both must be retaken proctored.
- C — The restriction is on the mail-in test itself, not on how the other tests are administered.
- D — Eighty-four percent is the pass mark for a mail-in Type I; passing it still does not count.
- A — No waiting period converts a mail-in result into one that counts toward Universal.
