Article 9

To pass the written section of the fire safety engineer exam, candidates must earn an average score of 60 or higher across all subjects.

To pass the written section of the fire safety technician exam, candidates must earn an average score of 60 or higher across all subjects. However, if the number of candidates with an average score of 60 or higher is less than the top 16% of all candidates, the top 10% of all candidates who earn an average score of 50 points or higher will pass.

If the calculation result has a fraction, the number of passing candidates should be rounded to the nearest whole number. If two or more candidates at the cutoff level have the same score, both or all will pass.
