The CAA is required to produce a list of Examiners together with their privileges however; this list is only updated periodically, so it makes sense to ensure that those privileges are entered on the Examiner's own personal Certificate, which a candidate is entitled to ask to see prior to test. When testing candidates from other States, the NAA invariably wishes to see a copy of the Examiner's Certificate to determine if they are appropriately authorised. If it were not entered on the Certificate, how would anyone know?
UK Examiner authorisations have always listed the privileges of the holder to ensure that they know what they are authorised to do.
Interesting I hold a NL TRE and I do NOT have such an endorsement on the rating. It would appear that the interpretation of PART ARA by the UK CAA if different than other member states.
