The following reminder is being issued for all ADCI General Members and Associate Member Schools:
Implementation of Certification and Equipment Requirements for the ADCI Consensus Standards (6th edition)
For those Items that were annotated with a superscript "1", please note that the requirements will take effect on 8 February 2012. • All ADCI general member company diving personnel need to hold a current ADCI certification card reflective of the assigned tasks to be performed. This certification card needs to be obtained within 90 days of employment with a general member company.¹ We are drawing very close to the 12 month anniversary of the distribution date of the Consensus Standards (6th edition). Those items that were annotated with a superscript "2" will take effect 8 July 2012.
• All graduates of ADCI member schools who complete a commercial diver training-program consisting of a minimum of 625² hours of formal instruction in accordance with the provisions of the ADCI International Consensus Standards for Commercial Diving and Underwater Operations, including reference to the American National Standard for Divers (ANSI) Secretariat of the Association of Commercial Diving Educators (ACDE), are eligible.
This card will be issued to all graduates of recognized commercial diver training-programs consisting of 625² hours. Non-members of ADCI may apply to receive this type of certification card by presenting evidence that they have attended a recognized course of formal instruction consistent with the provisions of the ADCI International Consensus Standards for Commercial Diving and Underwater Operations.
