Practical Completion Certificates

The essence of a plant engineering contract will be that the plant actually performs to the criteria laid down in the design, and this must be established before a Practical Completion Certificate is even considered. Tests will need to be made to the plant, and then it will be commissioned by the contractor and left in a condition whereby it can be operated as specified. When the work within the contract is complete, a certificate should be issued by the client (or employer) to the contractor. The architect or consulting engineer acting as agent normally performs this duty. 

There is a tendency in the building industry, for expediency, to issue a Practical Completion Certificate subject to a list of defects. Very often, this is done in order to see the end of the main works. 

From the date of the Practical Completion Certificate, the contractor is no longer liable for liquidated damages, and the defects liability begins to run. Latent defects which appear for the next six or twelve months, depending upon the agreed period, have to be made good by the contractor, free of charge to the client. 

Some commenters wanted some form of verification that a worker had received training, such as a certificate of training or a sticker that could be placed on an ID card. Because each worker is not likely to receive training in all aspects of lead-safe work practices, a certificate or other form of training completion that would indicate that an employee s OJT is complete is not appropriate for this program. 

The Diplom is the first professional degree, and provides qualifications for professional practice. A certificate (the Vordiplom in Germany) is often awarded after completion of basic level studies at the end of the second year. However, in many countries different Diplom degrees exist in two different types of institutions. One is the university, which has research as a major mission and which grants doctoral degrees as well as the Diplom. The second type are institutions such as the... 

This section covers only the tests that are essential on a completed motor, irrespective of the manufacturing procedure and stage quality checks. If ISO 9000 guidelines are assimilated, practised and enforced by a manufacturer so that a customer s trust is obtained, a final pre-despatch inspection by the customer may not be necessary. The customer, having gained confidence in the practices and Quality Assurance Systems of the manufacturer, may issue an authorization to the manufacturer to despatch the material under their own inspection certificate, rather than an inspection by the customer. We discuss below the test requirements procedure and the acceptance norms prescribed by various national and international standards for such machines and adopted by various manufacturers. 

The filing provisions you have made should enable your records to be readily retrievable however, you need to maintain your files if the stored information is to be of any use. In practice, records will collect at the place they are created and unless promptly removed to secure files may be mislaid, lost, or inadvertently destroyed. Once complete, quality records should not be changed. If they are subsequently found to be inaccurate, new records should be created. Alterations to records should be prohibited as they bring into doubt the validity of any certification or authentication as no one will know whether the alteration was made before or after the records were authenticated. In the event that alterations are unavoidable due to time or economic reasons, errors should be struck through in order that the original wording can still be read, and the new data added and endorsed by the certifying authority. 

Abraham and some practical experience in the physics laboratory first made Prevost take pause. Introduction to the chemistry laboratory completely reoriented Prevost, and when Robert Lespieau examined him for the certificate in chemistry, Prevost was offered a place in the laboratory for doing research for a diploma. 

The useable lifetime of a reference material depends on both its inherent stability and also on its rate of use. It will thus be necessary to establish a timetable for the preparation of further batches of the material so as to ensure that supplies are always available. These subsequent batches (particularly if they are matrix-based) will need to be treated almost like a new material, i.e., they should be tested for stability, and a complete new certification will be needed for each replacement batch. This involves substantial work each time it is done, hence it is desirable to make as large a batch as practical, consistent with the probable shelf-life and expected usage. 

There was also another reason for my decision. For too long, I had deferred taking the Specially Board Certification Exam in Psychiatry. Normally, this is something that clinicians try to get out of the way as soon as they become eligible - usually two years after completion of residency training. For almost twelve years, I had only occasionally done any clinical psychiatry. Without practicing a specialty, much of what one learns during residency rapidly fades away. I knew it would take several months of intense study to prepare for the written exam in May. 

Most of the inventor s certificates and patents in the priority countries relate to the method of granulation on completion of the manufacturing process. However, account should be taken of the fact that the method of granulation during the production stage came into practical use only in the mid sixties. 

Certification is a credential granted to pharmacists and other health professionals who have demonstrated a level of competence in a specific and relatively narrow area of practice that exceeds the minimum requirements for licensure. Certification is granted on the basis of successful completion of rigorously developed eligibility criteria that include a written examination and, in some cases, an experiential component. The certification process is undertaken and overseen by a nongovernmental body. 

Pharmacists who have been practicing for more than 3 years and/or have completed postgraduate training may become certified in pharmacotherapy (BCPS) through the Board of Pharmaceutical Specialties (BPS). This certification is achieved via examination. In addition, as of the year 2000, BCPS awardees could be granted Added Qualifica-... 

The federal government has experimented with various models of pharmacist prescribing.The VA and the IHS appear to have the most liberal policies toward pharmacist prescribing.In the VA, clinical pharmacy specialists are required to have an advanced degree or have completed an accredited residency (e.g., an American Society of Health Systems Pharmacy, ASHP, accredited residency) or specialty board certification (e.g., a Board of Pharmaceutical Specialties, BPS, certification) before they may prescribe medications within their scope of practice. The scope of practice is established within the local VA facility. Once this criterion is satisfied, the clinical pharmacy specialist may function as an independent health care provider. In the IHS, pharmacists can be credentialed to provide primary care and use their prescriptive authority to evaluate and manage the care of certain patients. 

Recall that licensure to practice as a pharmacist is attained through a government agency after an individual demonstrates a minimum degree of competency. It does not indicate that the pharmacist has attained any additional skills or knowledge that is required to practice as a pharmacotherapy specialist. However, successful completion of BPS certification in pharmacotherapy indicates that the pharmacist possesses a level of education, experience, knowledge, and skills that surpass those required to obtain pharmacy licensure. 

All results and findings in the context of those certification processes can be transferred to the next electrolysis system size. A complete transparency, the compliance with all instmctions and the involvement of the important admission offices in a very early stage of the development effectuate a safe and reliable technique. In practice, measures will be defined and documented as so called primary, secondary and tertiary. ... 

For most products and machines, the self-declaration process (module A) is possible. In practice the manufacturer performs the complete product assessment according to EU standards, issues the declaration, and affixes the CE marking to the product. A technical file or documentation must also be available on demand for national enforcement authorities. Keep in mind that this is an internal self-assessment process, a do-it-yourself approach, that results in issuance of the manufacturer s declaration of conformity and the CE marking (Figure 2-6). The buyer may demand proof of safety/EMC compliance in the form of a mark, certificate, or test report from a European notified or competent body. 

Drivers guilty of any of these practices should have their authorization to drive (licence or certificate) suspended until further training completed.
