Be able to name the malt when 7 different glasses are placed in front of you.
And everything which is in this document

And a huge wallet. It costs a fortune to get and maintain. I am actually suprised that many freelance examiners can be bothered to get it and maintain it. I suspect many make little if any money from having it.
Its not quite as easy as it appears in LASORS. There is more information in the examiners hand book.

In the UK, only CAA staff examiners can be IREs (examiners who can do the skill test for the initial issue of an IR), at least at the moment. There is a rumour going round this might change under EASA.
Us mere mortals can become CRE.IRR, Class Rating Examiner with IR Revalidation privileges. Was straight forward enough to get a few years ago (at a cost then of between 5 and 6 K and a three yearly renewal/revalidation cost of 1.5 to 2K), but with the above rumour in mind it would appear the CAA are not as keen to authorise people as they once were.

Title of section I of LASORS:
If you change your UK JAR licence to another country, you keep your ratings but not your authorisations.

Where is this in LASORS? Are you implying that it is, in fact, a rating?
My reference was to the LASORS 2007 nine-page Index by Subject, where IRE(A)/IRE(H) (as well as CRE(A) and SFE(A)/SFE(H)) are listed under the heading of 'Ratings'.
Also, on the outside back cover, in describing the information it contains on the licensing requirements which need to be fulfilled to obtain and maintain each flight crew licence or rating, it lists 'Examiner Authorisations' under the heading of 'Ratings'.
But don't shoot the messenger!
