Core (Universal)Question 18 of 240
A technician wants a single certification that allows work on small appliances, high-pressure systems, and low-pressure systems. Which does the technician need?
a.Universal certification
b.Type I only
c.Type II only
d.A separate business license instead of a certification
Explanation
Universal certification is earned by passing the Core section plus all three type-specific sections (Type I, II, and III), and it authorizes work on every category of stationary equipment. Holding only Type I or Type II limits the technician to that category. A business license is a different matter and does not replace technician certification.
