There are four classifications of operators for each operational category set out in § 74:21:02:38. These classifications correspond to the plant or system classification in § 74:21:02:39. The secretary shall certify operators to one or more particular classifications in one or more operational categories. Operator certification to a certain class of an operational category entitles a person to operate a plant or system with the same or a lower corresponding classification.
