Petroleum storage tanks are regulated by federal and state laws. Many states require that tank workers be licensed or certified before being allowed to install, retrofit or decommission UST and/or AST systems or components. Code Council UST/AST examinations can be used to complement state licensing programs. In some states, individuals are required to pass state-specific examinations.
The program is used as a mandatory requirement in whole or in part by some states. It is available as a voluntary credential in several other states where there is not yet a mandatory UST or AST licensing requirement.
Anyone seeking a state or local license should first contact the appropriate licensing agency regarding specific local requirements.
