Application for registration shall be on a form supplied by the department with said form duly signed and witnessed. By applying for registration, the principal officer of the service establishment certifies that each service technician employed by the service establishment is fully competent to install, service, repair or recondition the class of devices for which registration is applied; has in their possession or available for use the required certified test standards and all necessary testing equipment, and required reference materials; and has full knowledge of all applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

However, without registration, such individual is not permitted to remove an official out-of-order tag or place a device into commercial service.
