Which RME types require the contractor material and test certificate?

• A. RME-I only
• B. RME-G only
• C. RME type G, D or U
• D. All RMEs

Answer: (C)

Material and test certificates come into play when the RME has to verify that the materials used and the tests performed on a project meet specific standards and project requirements. Among the RME types, those that cover broader or more critical scopes—G, D, or U—carry this responsibility, so the contractor must obtain and keep material and test certificates to prove compliance and enable inspection. An RME type that’s narrower in scope, like the I type, doesn’t automatically require this level of documentation. Saying all RMEs would be too broad, and saying only the G type would miss that D and U also require certificates.
