Scope

This Standard specifies the qualification and certification of personnel involved in
non-destructive testing (NDT). It is applicable to proficiency in one or more of the
following methods.
a) Acoustic emission testing;
b) Eddy current testing;
c) Infrared thermo-graphic testing;
d) Leak testing (hydraulic pressure tests excluded);
e) Magnetic particle testing;
f) Penetrant testing;
g) Radiographic testing;
h) Strain testing;
i) Ultrasonic testing;
j) Visual testing (direct unaided visual tests and visual tests carried out during the
application of another NDT method are excluded).
Certification to this standard provides an attestation of general competence of the
NDT operator. It does not represent an authorization to operate, since this remains the
responsibility of the employer, and the certified employee may require additional
specialized knowledge of parameters such as equipment, NDT procedures, materials
and products of the employer. Where required by regulatory requirements and codes,
the authorization to operate will be given in writing by the employer in accordance with
a quality procedure that defines any employer-required job-specific training and
examinations designed to verify the certificate holder’s knowledge of relevant industry
codes, standards, NDT procedures, equipment, and acceptance criteria for the tested
products.
The system specified by this Standard could also be applicable to other NDT methods,
where independent certification programs exist.
