(b) the oral part in which the applicant is to demonstrate general knowledge of the methods of assessing health risks and knowledge to the extent of the assessment of health risks of exposures in the specific areas referred to in Annex 4 to this Decree.
The applicant shall perform the written part of the examination before the oral examination. A condition for the acceptance of the oral part of the proficiency test to carry out the assessment of health risks shall be the successful performance of the written part, which shall consist in the correct answers to at least two thirds of the questions raised. The test is not public.
