ELIGIBILITY FOR SECOND RENEWAL
The second renewal of the TÜV Rheinland FS Engineer (SIS) certificate requires the exam to be re-taken as a minimum. It is highly recommended to take the course once more due to anticipated changes in the standards between the previous course (10 years earlier) and the current day.
The form for second renewal requires the completion of a different form. Please complete this form as concisely as possible with relevant detail on FS activities including Continued Professional Development in the last 5 years.
If the full course is being taken then ESC will pay the €500 fee to TÜV Rheinland. If you are just taking the exam then this will be invoiced to the participant by TÜV Rheinland directly.
