C2F Re-certification

A Commit2Fit certificate is valid for three years.
Prior to the certificate expiring, a Commit2Fit fit tester should begin the re-certification process.

From the different fit testing methods available, Commit2Fit certification only covers the following methods:

• QLFT-ATT (aerosol taste test): Saccharin solution or Bitrex (Denatonium benzoate) solution aerosol qualitative fit test (QLFT) protocols
• QNFT-CNC (condensation nuclei counter): Ambient aerosol condensation nuclei counter (CNC) quantitative fit test (QNFT) protocol

The re-certification process can only be used for the method(s) previously achieved during the Commit2Fit Training and Assessment scheme.  The re-certification process cannot be used in order to achieve a competency in a method that previously was not achieved (e.g., if the fit tester only completed the QLFT ATT method, the re-certification can only be used for that method and vice-a-versa).
If the fit tester completed both methods, then recertification can be sought through this process for both methods.

Upon successfully completion of the re-certification process, a new Certificate of Competency will be issued with a validity of three years from the new issue date.

Re-certification Application

The fit tester can initiate the request for an upcoming re-certification by contacting Commit2Fit through admin@nzohs.org.nz

In the contact email, the fit tester should include:

• Full name
• Certificate Number
• Fit test method(s) you wish to be Re-Certified (QLFT, QNFT or both QLFT & QNFT)

The fit tester should make sure to have access to fit test equipment and respirators for the methods they wish to be assessed for.

Fit testing equipment and/or facilities are NOT provided as part of the re-certification process.
