A qualification reference is a person who will vouch for your technical competence. Two Qualification References are required, four are recommended. You are asked to give the names of persons (unrelated to you and not more than one from your company) who have personal knowledge of your corrosion experience and abilities or of your teaching in a corrosion-related field. Acceptable references are registered engineers, present supervisor, present clients, previous supervisors, previous clients, professors and instructors, and NACE International Certificate holders of at least the same category for which you are applying.

NOTE 1: For Corrosion Technicians with only two years work experience, references from the same company may be accepted. However, this should be avoided if at all possible. NOTE 2: For Corrosion Specialist and Specialty Area applicants, one Qualification Reference must hold a NACE Certificate at the level being applied for or higher, a P.E. registration, ICorr Professional Member or international equivalent. NOTE 3: You are to send these individuals a Qualification Reference form (Item D), which they must complete and return directly to NACE International. This is your responsibility.

B. ATTESTATION I hereby: (1) Recognize and acknowledge that the proper control of corrosion can be critical to the safety and

welfare of the general public and industrial facilities. (2) Recognize and acknowledge that the control of corrosion is obligatory to maximize conservation of our

material resources, to reduce economic losses, and to protect the environment. (3) Recognize and acknowledge that the entire field of corrosion and its control encompasses the

application of the knowledge and experience of many diverse disciplines and levels of technical competence which must often be consulted.

(4) Recognize and acknowledge that only through continual association and cooperation with others in

this field can the safest and most economical solutions be found to the many corrosion problems. (5) Recognize and acknowledge that the quality of my work reflects on the entire profession of corrosion

control. For these reasons I:

(1) Agree to give first consideration in my corrosion control work to public safety and welfare and to protection of the environment.

(2) Agree to apply myself with diligence and responsibility to the corrosion control work that lies within my area of competence.

(3) Agree to pursue my work with fairness, honesty, integrity and courtesy, ever mindful of the best

interests of the public, my employer, and of fellow workers.

(4) Agree to not represent myself to be proficient or make recommendations in phases of corrosion control work in which I am not qualified by knowledge and experience.

(5) Agree to avoid and discourage untrue, sensational, exaggerated, and/or unwarranted statements regarding my work in oral presentations, written text, and/or advertising media.

(6) Agree to treat as confidential my knowledge of the business affairs and/or technical process of clients, employers, or customers when their interests so require.

(7) Agree to inform clients or employers of any business affiliations, interests, and/or connections which might influence my judgment.

(8) Agree to uphold, foster and contribute to the achievement of the objectives of NACE International. I understand that my failure to comply with these requirements could result in disciplinary action. Signature: Printed Name: Date:

C. WORK EXPERIENCE DOCUMENTATION Directions 1. Carefully read these directions before proceeding 2. Make as many copies of Work Experience Form 2: Individual Job Documentation as you need to

document the work experience required. NOTE: For the purpose of these forms, “job” is defined as “a position in which you are/were regularly employed for a period of time.” For example: “I had a “job” for AAA Corrosion Company as a technician for two years.” Work performed as part of an education experience (e.g.; work study, summer jobs, graduate research, etc.) may be included. You may have more than one “job” per employer, for example, if you get promoted. “Acceptable work experience in responsible charge” is documented work experience in the field of corrosion

which includes: (a) the investigation of corrosion causes and mechanisms, (b) the investigation, design and implementation of corrosion control procedures, or (c) the teaching of corrosion related science, any of which should be at a level of responsibility requiring initiative, technical ability, and independent judgment. The applicant need not be in administrative or supervisory control of the work, however, it is necessary that the applicant be in technical control and have technical responsibility. The distinguishing characteristic of one in “responsible charge” of work in the corrosion field should be considered to be the ability to deal creatively with a set of circumstances relating to corrosion and to deduce or synthesize a fruitful and safe course of action. 3. Completely fill out one copy of Work Experience Form 2: Individual Job Documentation for each

job you want included in your work experience assessment. If you move from one “job” to another with the same employer, you must fill out separate forms for each “job”. You must provide complete information. If you are self employed, provide names and addresses of specific individuals who can verify your work history.

4. Summarize the information from each copy of Work Experience Form 2: Individual Job

Documentation you completed onto Work Experience Form 1: Summary of Corrosion Work Experience.

5. Arrange your forms in order of most recent experience first, followed by less recent experience.

Number pages consecutively. If you have 12 pages of forms the first page is page 1 of 12, and the other pages should be numbered 2 of 12 through 12 of 12.

6. Make a copy of all pages of this application for your records.
