Validity of 16th Ed 2391 Cert?

[scania164]

I was just wondering there.
I got my 2391 in 2006/2007 shortly before the 17th came in.
The tutor at the time said that there was no need to redo the exam after the 17th came in.

Are 2391 Certs obtained prior to the 17th came in completely valid?

Yes

Test and inspection competence doesn't change,the application of that competence to the current standard may so it would be awareness of the current regs that need continual updating

Exactly as Des56 said, the 2391 currently is a lifetime qualification, a competent and responsible person will keep up with any changes affecting testing.

Cheers, I'll sign up for that.
I did the 17th exam as soon as it came out but never gave the 2391 a second though.
Good to know I'll never have to sit that exam again
