CNG/LPG PROGRAM EVALUATION

NATEF Standards for Initial Certification and Recertification are identical. Four items are critical for certification and are in bold print in the CNG/LPG Program Self-Evaluation materials. These three items are:

• 2.5 A
  
  
• 6.5 A
  
  
• 7.1 A
  
  
• 7.1 B

Programs must be able to support a yes response for 2.5 A and 6.5 A. Programs must hold at least two working meetings of the Advisory Committee each year (2.5 A). In section 6.5 A, the programs must include the required percentage of the P-1, P-2, and P-3 tasks in the areas where certification is desired. Programs must also achieve a minimum score of 4 on the 5-point scale on item 7.1 A&B. If these responses are not achieved, do not apply for certification at this time.

In addition, an on-site evaluation will not be scheduled unless the average score on Standards 6, 7, 8, and 9 is at least a 4 on the CNG/LPG Program Self-Evaluation. Please refer to the CNG/LPG Minimum Program Requirements for more information.
