2. Issuance of Higher Grade Certificates

If a candidate passes the exam and requires a higher grade certificate, the examining surveyor should take the hard-cover and EXN-45. The surveyor should then issue the blue chit (EXN-15). The EXN-45 and hard cover/blue chit of the previous certificate should be sent with the EXN-3 form to D.G. Shipping for making the hard cover.
