The format of references an examinee may bring into a paper-and-pencil exam is limited to the titles on this list; all
references must be bound. NICET highly recommends that all references are professionally bound. If references are not
professionally bound, they must be included in a binder no larger than three (3) inches and with clear delineation of the
publication(s) included in the binder. A binder may contain more than one delineated section.
Personal notes are acceptable as long as they are typed or photocopied; notes must be in a binder. Handwritten notes that are
not photocopied will not be allowed into the testing facility.
Standards, books, and training materials published by the following organizations will be permitted in NICET's
paper-and-pencil test centers:
• AASHTO (e.g., AASHTO Materials, Parts I & II)
• ACI (including Standards, Manuals, Reference Packages, and Technician Workbooks)
• ASME (e.g., ASME 19.17, ASME PTC 19.10)
• ASTM (e.g., Annual book of ASTM Standards)
• DOT publications (e.g., state and federal)
• EIA (e.g., EIA RS-186-9E)
• FHWA (e.g., FP-03)
• IEEE (e.g., IEEE 162, IEE/ASTM SI 10)
• ISA (e.g., ISA RP42.1, ISA S5.1)
• NFPA Standards and related Handbooks (e.g., NFPA 13, NFPA 13 Handbook)
• NIST Publications (e.g., NIST Handbook 44)
• NHI training materials (e.g., National Highway Institute’s Bridge Inspection Refresher Training)
• UL (e.g., UL 1002)
• United Facilities Guide Specifications (e.g., UFGS 31 11 00 Clearing and Grubbing)
