Thermographer Certifications Held by Armando Longueira, P.E. — Miami-Dade County.

All Home Meters holds three distinct thermographer certifications, each independently verifiable and recognized by BORA, insurance carriers, and commercial facility managers throughout Miami-Dade County and South Florida.

🏅
Level III Certified Infrared Thermographer — Infraspection Institute CIT®.
Infraspection Institute.
The CIT® (Certified Infrared Thermographer®). is the registered mark of the Infraspection Institute — one of the oldest and most recognized thermographer certification bodies in North America. Level III is the highest designation, requiring demonstrated mastery of thermographic theory, equipment, methodology, and report interpretation.
  • Registered mark — CIT® is exclusive to Infraspection Institute graduates.
  • Level III requires documented experience, examination, and practical demonstration.
  • Recognized by BORA Miami-Dade as qualifying experience for commercial thermography.
  • Accepted by FM Global, Zurich, Hartford, and major commercial insurance carriers.
🌐
CAT 3 ISO 18436-7 — Independent International Certification.
ISO 18436-7 Certifying Body.
ISO 18436-7 Category 3. is an internationally recognized, portable thermographer certification that is independent of any employer. Unlike ASNT SNT-TC-1A, ISO 18436-7 certification belongs to the individual and is not voided by a change of employer.
  • Category 3 is the highest level under ISO 18436-7 — covers condition monitoring and diagnostics.
  • Independent and portable — not tied to employer Written Practice.
  • Recognized internationally and by BORA guidelines for qualified thermographer status.
  • Provides an additional independent benchmark beyond ASNT certification.
📋
Level III ASNT SNT-TC-1A — Employer-Based Certification.
Written Practice AHM-WP-IR-2026.
ASNT SNT-TC-1A. requires thermographers to be employer-certified under a formal Written Practice that documents training curriculum, examination content, and OJT hours by level. All Home Meters maintains Written Practice. AHM-WP-IR-2026. , which governs all thermography operations.
  • Written Practice AHM-WP-IR-2026 — defines Level I, II, and III responsibilities.
  • Level III creates, administers, and grades examinations for Level I and II candidates.
  • Employer Certification document AHM-CERT-IR-2026 issued per ASNT requirements.
  • BORA explicitly requires SNT-TC-1A compliance for commercial thermography reports.

Level I, Level II, and Level III Infrared Thermographer — What Each Level Means.

The ASNT SNT-TC-1A and ISO 18436-7 frameworks define three certification levels. Each level carries specific responsibilities, restrictions, and qualifications. Understanding the difference is important when evaluating a thermographer's qualifications for Miami-Dade BORA compliance.

Level I.
Data Collection Only. A Level I Certified Infrared Thermographer may operate thermal imaging equipment and collect data under the direct supervision of a Level II or Level III thermographer. Level I cannot independently interpret thermal anomalies, classify faults, or author thermography reports. BORA does not accept Level I as the lead thermographer for recertification submissions.
Level II.
Analysis, Fault Classification, and Reporting. A Level II Certified Infrared Thermographer. may perform advanced thermal analysis, apply NFPA 70B Physical Condition Classification, and author thermography reports under a Written Practice. Level II is the minimum level accepted by BORA for lead thermographers in Miami-Dade commercial building recertification. All Home Meters in-staff Level II thermographers operate under Written Practice AHM-WP-IR-2026 and P.E. oversight.
Level III.
Highest Level — Program Authority and P.E. Oversight. A Level III Certified Infrared Thermographer. creates the Written Practice and Standard Operating Procedure, administers and grades Level I and II examinations, manages the thermography program, and provides engineering-level judgment on complex thermal anomalies. Armando Longueira, P.E. holds Level III under three independent frameworks:. Infraspection Institute CIT®. , ISO 18436-7 CAT 3. , and. ASNT SNT-TC-1A. — a combination held by very few thermographers in Miami-Dade County.

Infrared Thermographer Certification Comparison — Miami-Dade County Market.

Most thermography providers in Miami-Dade operate with a single employer-based certification or a 3-day training school certificate that does not meet ASNT SNT-TC-1A requirements. The following table shows how All Home Meters compares to the typical market and to BORA minimum requirements.

Certification / Qualification. BORA Minimum Requirement. Typical Miami-Dade Provider. All Home Meters.
Certification Level.Level II minimum.Level II — often training school only.Level III — P.E., CIT®, ISO, ASNT.
Infraspection Institute CIT®.Not required but recognized.Rarely held.✔ CIT® — Registered Mark.

Why Thermographer Qualifications Matter in Miami-Dade County.

Miami-Dade County's Board of Rules and Appeals (BORA) Infrared Thermography Guidelines require the lead thermographer to hold more than five years of documented experience inspecting commercial electrical systems. A 3-day thermography course does not constitute valid Level II certification under ASNT SNT-TC-1A, and BORA-reviewed reports are increasingly scrutinized for this distinction.

A Level III Certified Infrared Thermographer in Miami-Dade County brings a fundamentally different level of qualification than a Level II operator. The Level III creates the Written Practice, administers the certification program, and provides engineering-level judgment — qualifications that directly affect the accuracy of fault classification and the defensibility of the report before BORA, insurance carriers, and building officials.

All Home Meters is one of very few firms in Miami-Dade County where the lead thermographer holds all three independent certifications simultaneously:. Infraspection Institute CIT®. , ISO 18436-7 CAT 3. , and. ASNT SNT-TC-1A Level III. — all under a Florida Licensed Professional Engineer.

ISO 18436-7 CAT 3 — What Makes It Different from ASNT Certification.

ISO 18436-7 is an international standard for the qualification and certification of personnel engaged in machinery condition monitoring and diagnostics using thermography. It is administered independently and is not employer-dependent — meaning it travels with the individual regardless of employer changes.

Category 3 is the highest level under ISO 18436-7, covering advanced diagnostic methodology, interpretation of complex thermal signatures, and program management. In Miami-Dade County, ISO 18436-7 CAT 3 is recognized alongside ASNT SNT-TC-1A as a valid qualification benchmark by BORA and by commercial insurance carriers requiring independent certification evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions —. Level III Certified Infrared Thermographer Miami-Dade. .

What is the difference between a Level II and Level III Certified Infrared Thermographer?
A Level II Certified Infrared Thermographer may independently analyze thermal data, classify faults per NFPA 70B, and author reports under a Written Practice. A Level III Certified Infrared Thermographer creates and administers the Written Practice, examines and certifies Level I and II candidates, manages the thermography program, and provides engineering-level interpretation of complex results. BORA requires Level II minimum — All Home Meters exceeds this with Level III P.E. oversight.
What is the Infraspection Institute CIT® registered mark?
The CIT® (Certified Infrared Thermographer®) is a registered trademark of the Infraspection Institute — one of the oldest thermographer certification organizations in North America. The CIT® designation at Level III indicates the thermographer has passed rigorous written and practical examinations and holds documented experience. The registered mark CIT® may only be used by active certified graduates of the Infraspection Institute program.
Is ISO 18436-7 CAT 3 recognized by BORA in Miami-Dade County?
Yes. BORA's Infrared Thermography Guidelines recognize ISO 18436-7 as a valid independent certification benchmark for thermographer qualifications. ISO 18436-7 CAT 3 is particularly valued because it is portable and employer-independent — meaning the qualification belongs to the individual thermographer and is not voided if they change employer, unlike ASNT SNT-TC-1A employer-based certification.
What is a Written Practice under ASNT SNT-TC-1A?
An ASNT SNT-TC-1A Written Practice is a formal employer-maintained document that defines the training requirements, examination content, OJT hour requirements, and certification procedures for each thermographer level (I, II, III) within the organization. BORA and insurance carriers require that thermographers operating in Miami-Dade be certified under a valid employer Written Practice. All Home Meters maintains Written Practice AHM-WP-IR-2026, authored and administered by the Level III thermographer.
How many OJT hours does ASNT SNT-TC-1A require for Level III?
ASNT SNT-TC-1A requires a minimum of 1,200 OJT hours for Level III in the Thermal/Infrared (IR) Method, in addition to a minimum of 40 hours of formal classroom or structured training and a passing score on written and practical examinations. Armando Longueira, P.E. holds 4,000+ documented OJT hours — more than three times the minimum — accumulated over 20+ years of commercial electrical system inspections in Miami-Dade and Broward.
Does a Level III thermographer need to be on-site for every inspection?
Under ASNT SNT-TC-1A, Level II thermographers may perform data collection and analysis independently under the Written Practice established by the Level III. However, for BORA-compliant recertification reports in Miami-Dade County, All Home Meters ensures Level III P.E. oversight of all thermal surveys — either on-site or through direct technical supervision of in-staff Level II thermographers operating under Written Practice AHM-WP-IR-2026.
Is a 3-day thermography course sufficient for BORA compliance in Miami-Dade?
No. A certificate from a 3-day thermography training course does not constitute valid ASNT SNT-TC-1A Level II certification. ASNT SNT-TC-1A requires employer-based certification under a formal Written Practice, documented OJT hours, and passing written and practical examinations — not merely attendance at a training course. BORA-reviewed reports are increasingly scrutinized for this distinction, and reports signed by non-compliant thermographers are subject to rejection.
