Pipeline Program

Due to changing regulatory requirements and the aging of the industry’s pipeline systems, operators are implementing integrity management plans to ensure the longevity and

reliability of this critical infrastructure. Significant cost savings can be realized by implanting available corrosion prevention and mitigation technologies as a component of an existing integrity management plan.

Today operators have to be aware of how corrosion and other defects can impact the integrity of the pipeline to ensure safe operation without failures that may jeopardize public safety, result in product loss, or cause property and environmental damage.

In response to industry requests for formal training and certification in pipeline corrosion integrity management, NACE is introducing three new classes that will launch in the fall of 2011:

■ Direct Assessment ■ In-Line Inspection ■ Pipeline Corrosion Assessment Field Techniques (P-CAFT)

These courses may be taken as stand-alone training for continued professional development or as part of the path toward the Pipeline Corrosion Integrity Management (PCIM 1 or PCIM 2) certification.

Q: Which NACE Certifications offer a Parallel Path option?A: Corrosion Technician, Corrosion Technologist, Senior Corrosion Technologist, Protective Coating Technologist, and Protective Coating Specialist. See the Certification at a Glance Section for more details.

Q: If I choose the Parallel Path option, do I still need to meet the work requirements?A: Yes, all work requirements must be met for each certification.

Q: How is work experience documented?A: Special reference forms are included with your application.

Q: Can I use work documentation that I previously turned in?A: Yes, if this documentation is used within one (1) year.

Q: What is the difference between “acceptable work experience” and “acceptable work experience in responsible charge?”A: “Acceptable work experience” and “acceptable work experience in responsible charge” both refer to 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.

However, “acceptable work experience in responsible charge” should be at a level of responsibility requiring initiative, technical ability, and independent judgment.

Q: Are there any alternatives to actual “work experience” or “work experience in responsible charge?”A: There are no alternatives to “work experience” or “work experience in responsible charge.”

Q: Once I have successfully completed a course, how long do I have to apply it towards a certification?A: You have five (5) years to apply a course towards certification.

Q: Are there any time constraints to completion of your certification by exam?A: You have one (1) year from the time when your application is approved in which to take the examination.

Q: What is the NACE International Attestation?A: This is a document that attests to your knowledge that you understand the privileges and responsibilities which come along with NACE International Certification. By signing the Attestation, you agree to adhere to certain standards and abide by certain work ethics. Failure to comply could result in disciplinary action.

Q: Do I have to renew my certification?A: Yes, all certifications renew every three (3) years. Go to the NACE Web site to renew online at www.nace.org.

Q: Do I have to pay a fee to renew my certification?A: Yes, every three (3) years you pay a fee to renew your certification—$140 for Members and $350 for Nonmembers. You no longer have to pay Annual Maintenance Fees for your certification.

Q: How long can my file remain open after I have submitted my application paperwork?A: Files remain open for two years with no activity. Files older than two years with no activity will be closed.

Q: What happens if I do not renew my certification?A: NACE allows a three month grace period (90 days) after your certification expiration date before your record is marked as “inactive”. You have up to five years to reinstate your certification and pay all fees in arrears. Any certification lapsed for more than five years will NOT be able to be reinstated and will require starting the program over from the beginning.
