21、 by BSI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2007, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2007. This document is aimed at enabling the compete
22、nce of personnel carrying out cathodic protection studies, execution work, inspections and maintenance work to be defined and verified. The relevant application sectors concern underground or immersed metallic structures, marine metallic structures, reinforced concrete structures and the inner surfa
23、ces of metallic container structures. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungar

25、lled Copy, (c) BSI EN 15257:2006 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard defines three competence levels (Annex B) of personnel acting in the field of cathodic protection, including survey, design, installation, testing and maintenance. It specifies a framework of procedures for the training and certif
26、ication for the personnel to reach and demonstrate the competence levels. It defines the minimum requirements for certification bodies responsible for this certification. The procedures for certification of cathodic protection personnel should be in accordance with EN ISO/IEC 17024. Competence level
27、s and certification schemes apply to each of the following application sectors: underground and immersed metallic structures; marine metallic structures; reinforced concrete structures; inner surfaces of metallic container structures. These application sectors are detailed in Annex A. It is not mand
28、atory for a certification body to establish certification in all application sectors or to all levels of competence. A certification body may subdivide application sectors and may combine levels of competence. If such subdivision and/or combination are used by the certification body, it should ensur
29、e that the certificates discriminate these divided sectors or combined levels from those defined in this standard. NOTE 1 This European Standard does not incorporate the certification of companies or services. NOTE 2 This European Standard does not include internal corporate assessment and qualifica
30、tion of personnel. NOTE 3 Wherever gender specific words such as “his“, “her“, “he“ or “she“ appears in this standard the other gender is also applicable. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
