Open Book Test

The Arizona CR-65 Glazing exam is an open-book test for approved references allowed by the testing provider. Candidates are responsible for bringing their own allowed reference materials to the examination center. Approved references may be highlighted, underlined, annotated, and indexed before the examination session begins.

During the exam, candidates may not write, highlight, underline, or index inside the reference books. Any markings, notes, highlighting, underlining, or indexing must be completed before the exam begins. Candidates should arrive with their allowed books already organized and ready to use.

Reference materials may be tabbed or indexed with permanent tabs only. Permanent tabs are tabs that would tear the page if removed. Temporary removable tabs, including Post-it style tabs or other removable markers, are not allowed and must be removed before the exam begins.

Candidates may use a silent, nonprinting, non-programmable calculator in the examination center. Loose papers and additional attached papers are not allowed with approved references. Downloaded references may be brought into the testing center only when they are properly bound, such as spiral bound or placed in a binder after being hole-punched.

Only certain references are allowed in the examination center. The OSHA reference and the 2018 International Building Code are allowed exam-room references for this trade exam. The GANA Glazing Manual (50th Anniversary Edition) and the Guide to Glass & Glazing Requirements of the Model Building Codes, 5th edition, 2016 are included for study and preparation but are not allowed in the examination room. Candidates should bring only allowed references into the testing room.

Licensing Steps

Arizona contractor licensing is handled by the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. A candidate pursuing the CR-65 Glazing Residential / Commercial Contractor classification should begin by reviewing the classification scope, confirming the applicable examination requirements, and preparing for the required trade examination.

The person who satisfies the examination requirement is commonly the qualifying party for the license. The qualifying party is connected to the contractor license application and is responsible for demonstrating knowledge in the classification. Applicants should follow the Arizona Registrar of Contractors process for current application forms, business information, bonding, financial responsibility items, and any other licensing materials required for the application.

A practical preparation path begins with gathering the references, reviewing the CR-65 exam information, and building a study schedule around the major subject areas. Candidates should divide study time across general glazing, glass systems, metal framing, plastics and acrylics, sealant installations, OSHA safety, and building code requirements.

After preparing, candidates schedule and complete the required examination through the testing provider. Passing the trade exam is an important licensing step, but passing the exam does not automatically issue a contractor license. The license application must still be submitted to the Arizona Registrar of Contractors and reviewed according to state licensing requirements.

Candidates should keep the full licensing process in mind while preparing. The exam is one part of the broader path to licensure. Business setup, application documents, bonding, compliance responsibilities, and state review may also be part of the process depending on the applicant and business structure.

State Requirements

The Arizona CR-65 Glazing classification allows the licensee to install or repair weatherproofing, caulking, sealants, and adhesives as required for the licensee to assemble, install, or repair glass products, window film, window treatments, and steel and aluminum glass-holding members.

The CR-65 classification is residential and commercial. Arizona separates residential, commercial, and dual contractor licenses, and the CR-65 classification is the dual residential/commercial glazing classification. Candidates should make sure the CR-65 classification matches the work they plan to contract, advertise, supervise, and perform.

Glazing contractors often work at the intersection of appearance, performance, and safety. Finished glazing work must be properly installed, sealed, supported, protected, and coordinated with the surrounding building assemblies. Code requirements are especially important where glass is installed in hazardous locations, near doors, in guards, in impact-prone areas, or in locations where safety glazing rules apply.

Because glazing work can involve sharp materials, heavy panels, elevated work, sealants, adhesives, and jobsite coordination, safety preparation is important. Candidates should study OSHA requirements along with practical glass-handling procedures, personal protective equipment, and safe installation methods.

Test Information and Study Materials

The Arizona CR-65 exam requires a balanced study plan because glazing combines field installation knowledge, material understanding, safety practices, and building code requirements. Candidates should begin with the content outline, then connect each subject area to the references most likely to support that topic.

General glazing preparation should include glass types, field measurements, jobsite handling, cutting, edge conditions, cleaning, installation sequence, glazing accessories, and quality concerns. Candidates should understand the language of the trade and be comfortable identifying the correct installation approach for common glazing conditions.

Glass systems preparation should include the way complete glazing assemblies work. A glazing system may involve glass, metal framing, gaskets, setting blocks, sealants, fasteners, anchors, drainage, thermal movement, and surrounding construction. Studying systems as complete assemblies helps candidates understand why individual components must be selected and installed correctly.

Metal framing preparation should include aluminum and steel glass-holding members, storefront components, anchorage, spacing, alignment, expansion, and installation tolerances. Framing questions may connect to both practical installation and code requirements, especially where glass is part of a larger building assembly.

Plastics and acrylics preparation should include basic material characteristics, installation concerns, handling, compatibility, and performance limitations. Sealant installation preparation should include joint preparation, backing materials, tooling, adhesion, weatherproofing, cure conditions, and compatibility between sealants, glass, metal, and surrounding substrates.

Code preparation should focus on learning how to navigate the 2018 International Building Code efficiently. Candidates should practice using the table of contents, index, chapter structure, section headings, and tabs. Code questions reward candidates who can quickly identify whether a question involves safety glazing, hazardous locations, glass in guards, openings, identification, performance, or another glazing-related code topic.

OSHA safety should be part of every study schedule. Glazing work can involve sharp edges, heavy materials, ladders, scaffolds, fall hazards, hand tools, power tools, lifting, transporting glass, and exposure to active construction sites. Candidates should become familiar with the structure of 29 CFR Part 1926 before exam day.
