The question
After taking the Section 608 test, how soon must the certifying program send the results?
- Within 7 days
- Within 30 daysCorrect answer
- Within 90 days
- Within one year
Why “Within 30 days” is correct
Appendix D requires certifying programs to give applicants their results no later than 30 days from the test date and to issue the wallet card within 30 days. For mail-in Type I tests the 30 days run from when the program receives the completed test.
Source: 40 CFR Part 82, Subpart F, Appendix D; EPA: Section 608 Q&A
Why the other answers are wrong
- Within 7 days — Seven days is not the deadline in the rule.
- Within 90 days — Ninety days is longer than the rule allows.
- Within one year — One year is far longer than the 30-day deadline.
