LAS
VEGAS, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Alternative Fuel Vehicle Institute (AFVi) is proud to
announce that it has updated its CNG Fuel System Inspector
Certification Exam to align with the latest changes in industry
codes and standards. These updates underscore AFVi's commitment to
offer the most current and relevant training to CNG technicians so
that they meet the highest standards of safety and reliability in
their work.
AFVi is the only CNG fuel system inspector certification
organization that has implemented these updates, including:
- Updated Codes and Standards. CNG fuel system
installations are regulated by two codes that form the basis of CNG
fuel system inspector certification: NFPA 52 and ANSI NGV 6.1.
These codes have undergone two major updates since AFVi's original
certification exam was launched in 2016, requiring significant
technology changes. Inspectors must be aware of them to perform
their jobs proficiently.
- Refined Questions. AFVi has meticulously refined
several exam questions based on an in-depth analysis of previous
technician performance. Questions now offer greater clarity and
comprehension to assess technician knowledge and skills.
- More Application-Based Questions. In response to
feedback and industry trends, the updated exam features more
application-based questions. These are designed for technicians to
demonstrate their knowledge in practical situations, rather than
merely assessing their theoretical understanding — thus reinforcing
the best methods for performing these inspections safely.
Annalloyd Thomason, AFVi's CEO, had this to say about the
update: "We are dedicated to keeping CNG fuel system inspectors up
to date with codes and standards as well as evolving technology
developments. By continuously refining our training content and
certification processes, we are equipping CNG technicians with the
most relevant and actionable knowledge available."
Since launching its CNG Fuel System Inspector Certification
program, AFVi has certified over 2,000 technicians. More than 90%
of fleet managers who obtain training from AFVi also choose
certification for their technicians because of the extra assurance
it provides. Certification is valid for five years.
