Is it true or false that a cathodic protection tester can design field-installed cathodic protection systems?

True
False
Depends on state regulations
Only if certified

The correct answer is: False

A cathodic protection tester is responsible for evaluating the effectiveness of cathodic protection systems, but typically does not have the authority or training to design these systems. Designing cathodic protection systems requires a broader knowledge base and expertise in engineering principles, materials, soil characteristics, and structural requirements. While some testers may have additional qualifications that allow them to engage in design work, the role is generally distinct from that of a designer. Additionally, certifications may exist specifically for those qualified to design such systems, which implies that not all testers hold that capability. In essence, asserting that a cathodic protection tester can design field-installed systems is incorrect as it conflates the roles of testing and designing, which are governed by different standards and qualifications.
