UST/AST Certification Program

Announcements

U6 Exam Change -- Effective July 1, 2010

Effective July 1, 2010, the U6 UST System Operator (National exam) will no longer be offered by ICC, due to EPA guidelines regarding UST operator classes. As a result, ICC will offer two new exams: the Class A UST System Operator and Class B UST System Operator.
Please be sure to read the UST/AST Exam Information Bulletin in its entirety, for information including content, references, and fees.
Please be aware that if you call Pearson VUE to register for a computer-based exam, you can register for the U6 only if scheduled for administration up to and including June 30, 2010. After that date, you must register for either the AU (Class A) or BU (Class B) exam. Check with the jurisdiction in which you wish to work to see which of these exams is the correct one for you to take.

EPA Acceptance

ICC certification as a Class A or Class B UST System Operator has been approved as meeting the federal guidelines. Candidates are strongly encouraged to register and test now, as seating in Pearson VUE test centers is limited. Some sites are not open every day, so register early to ensure you will receive your desired test date and time.

Petroleum storage tanks are regulated by federal and state laws. Many states require that tank workers be licensed or certified before being allowed to install, retrofit or decommission UST and/or AST systems or components. The ICC UST/AST Certification examinations can be used to complement state licensing programs. In some states, individuals are required to pass state-specific examinations.

This Certification Program is used as a mandatory requirement in whole or in part by several states and is available as a voluntary credential in states where there is not yet a mandatory UST or AST licensing requirement.

Committee Service

Committees are an important part of the ICC UST / AST Certification and Examination Program. The following committees provide oversight and development and maintenance functions for the Program.

UST/AST Exam Advisory Committee/Exam User Group (EUG) - comprised of industry representatives of state agencies that require the ICC UST/AST Certification.
UST/AST Exam Development Committee (EDC) - comprised of subject matter experts, assists ICC staff in the development and validation of exams.

In addition to these committees, there are several Exam Development Committees on a state level which function to develop and maintain state specific UST/AST exams. Many of these state committees are ad-hoc in nature, with members being appointed by the state agencies.
