The Stipel system is a structure to certify electrical technicians for specific tasks and risks. It focuses on the standards NEN 3140 (low voltage) and NEN 3840 (high voltage). As of Jan. 1, 2025, this system has been renewed.

For now, the exams available from PBNA are mainly administered in W* and W**.
Several certificates are available from PBNA:
New profiles such as VP Low Voltage are being added, while the Sufficiently Educated Person (VOP) profile is disappearing.
The exam consists of a theory and practical test. You must score at least 70% to pass.
If you already have a Stipel certificate that is less than 5 years old, you can switch to the new profile without a basic test via recertification. Older certificates require a complete new exam. The VOP profile expires, so you may have to switch to another profile.
Please check your certificate and feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
