Inspector certification renewals

Code change and OIC renewal requirements

Inspectors and plans examiners must complete division-approved continuing education (i.e., code change courses or high-priority training provided by the state) related to the scope of work allowed under each code certification.

If you do not complete the required code change class before your certification expires, you will be required to reapply and pass the division exam.

Note The division has adopted a new revision that moves back the renewal date for the Oregon Inspector Certification (OIC) from Nov. 1, 2022 to June 1, 2023. This new rule is effective on Oct. 1, 2022. This rule allows individuals who have not completed their 2021 code change cycle training to complete and self-certify completion of the training to the division no later than June 1, 2023.

Please read this notice explaining the changes in detail.
