SEARCHING FOR CERTIFICATES

It is possible to locate and view certificates which exist in the system without the need to log in (unauthenticated user).
The user will need to provide either;
• Tank serial number
• The name of the Manufacturer
• The certificate number
The information in the “Tank Serial Number” and “Manufacturer” should be available from the plate on the tank or on a certificate associated with the tank.
Where using the tank serial number search a return of several lines of data(certificates) may occur and the reader will have to identify which one they require by other means e.g. manufacturers name or tank type.
For the Manufacturer’s name it is only necessary to match the first few characters of the manufacturers’ name as recorded on the certificate.
The fields are not case sensitive.
If the system finds a match some information relating to any relevant certificates will be returned; users can click on a “View certificate” link at the right hand side of the screen.
