The goal of the SES QSTI/QSTO exam and abilities assessment is to determine whether the candidate
demonstrates knowledge and the ability to apply source testing methods and fundamental engineering and
chemistry principles in a manner consistent with that of a field test team leader. In addition to thorough and
practical knowledge of source testing methods, those principles include an understanding of elementary
physical gas laws and chemistry, basics of safety and hazardous material handling, and primary theories
of source testing (e.g., isokinetic and proportional sampling). The candidate is expected to exemplify and
demonstrate professional and ethical conduct not only during the exam process but also in representing
SES as a QSTI or QSTO.
