This shall include testing specimens (see Table B.1) appropriate to the scope of certification to be revalidated and in addition, for Level 2, the production of a written instruction suitable for the use of Level 1 personnel (see 8.2.3,9). If the individual fails to achieve a grade of at least 70 % for each specimen tested (weighted according to the guidance in Table 5), and, for Level 2, for the instruction, two retests of the whole recertification examination shall be allowed after at least 7 days and within six months of the first attempt at the recertification examination.
