Enter the dates of your last near-vision and color perception exams to see when the next ones are due.

SNT-TC-1A: near vision every 12 months and color perception every 5 years, each running to the end of the month (SNT-TC-1A 8.2.3 and 12.2). Your written practice may ask for more.

Where these figures come from

  • Near vision: SNT-TC-1A 8.2.1 (annually); NAS410 Rev. 6, 7.1.2 (annually).
  • Color: SNT-TC-1A 8.2.2 (at initial certification, then every five years); NAS410 Rev. 6, 7.1.2 (at least every five years).
  • End of month: SNT-TC-1A 8.2.3 and 12.2; NAS410 Rev. 6, 8.3.1.
  • Your written practice, or a customer's requirements, may ask for exams more often. Check it.
