Currently candidates who elect to take the exam on refrigerated containers in Chinese must select the exam language at the time of registration and when they schedule their examination location, date and time.

All candidates who pass the exam receive an IICL certificate. The certification is valid for five (5) years, after which, an inspector must pass the exam again to become re-certified. Certified inspectors are listed in the IICL Inspection Directory, which is updated annually. The Directory also includes companies that employ IICL-certified inspectors and features professional advertisement listings by depot/repair and surveying companies.  

Exam results take approximately 2 days from the examination date to be released. You will be able to view your exam results and print your certification document by logging into your IICL user account in testing.iicl.org and clicking on the Transcript tab.  The certification document/certificate will be posted in English.
