Industrial Instrumentation

This certification program was designed for engineering technicians who are engaged in a combination of the following instrumentation system activities: design assistance, installation and maintenance of industrial measurement and control systems, and the installation and maintenance of a variety of electrical, electronic, and pneumatic instruments used within systems.

This program recognizes situations in which the principle activities of the technician may be concentrated in in-plant environments, laboratories, or engineering offices. It also recognizes the situation in which the technician routinely has job tasks in all areas of instrumentation and control and this is considered a generalist rather than a specialist. Areas covered include knowledge of the principles and operation of instrumentation systems (pneumatic, electrical, and electronic), standard maintenance procedures, specialized repair facility and field maintenance procedures, applications, installation practices, record keeping, and reports.

Industrial Instrumentation comprises four levels of certification. Level I is designed for trainees and entry-level technicians who perform limited job tasks under frequent supervision, Level II is for technicians who perform routine tasks under general daily supervision, Level III is for intermediate-level technicians who, under little or no daily supervision, work with standards, plans, specifications, and instructions, and Level IV is for independent, senior-level technicians whose work includes supervising others. Certification at Levels II, III, and IV does not require prior certification at the lower level, but it does require meeting the certification requirements of the lower levels.
