This document provides the basis for organizational improvement underpinned by quality workforce data that supports analysis and evidenced-based decision-making. Workforce data quality, for the purpose of this document, is the process of: a) workforce data determination; b) data capture; c) data maintenance; d) data review processes. The focus of this document is on the quality of data itself rather than on other critical aspects relating to the overall management of data, such as privacy and security of personal data, the analysis and reporting of data and the use of technology. This document does not cover the analysis of data and reporting structure or the definition of any metric other than quality of workforce data. Technology platforms in the form of human resource information systems, databases, spreadsheets, and the like, can improve the process of the capture and management of data. The focus of this document is the data itself. While data security and data privacy are also critical to the overall management of data, they are not dealt with in this document. This document is applicable to all types and sizes of organization across all industry sectors and regions.

This document provides recommendations on how to measure learning. Since the selection of metrics depends on the reason to measure and the user of the metrics, and since a balanced set of metrics is important to avoid unintended consequences, the document begins with a framework for organizational learning and development (L&D), including five categories of users, four broad reasons to measure and three types of metrics. This framework is then used to recommend 50 metrics organized by user, type of metric and size of organization, and provide a description of each. The document concludes with guidance on reporting metrics, including a description of the different types of reports and guidance on their selection based on the user’s reasons for measuring. Metrics for both formal and informal learning are included. The guidance is intended for all types of organizations, including commercial and nonprofit, as well as for all sizes. No previous knowledge of L&D metrics is required, although those new to L&D measurement can consult the suggested references on matters of frameworks, metrics and programme evaluation to learn more.

This document provides a reference of 42 knowledge units as required and applied in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) professional work environment that can be understood across Europe. An intrinsic link with the EN 16234-1 (e-CF) is an essential characteristic of this document.
The document is created for application by:
—   educational institutions, learning programme and certification providers of all types including:
•   Vocational and Educational Training (VET);
•   Higher education (HE);
•   Continuous Professional Development (CPD);
—   ICT service, user and supply organisations;
—   ICT professionals, managers and human resource (HR) departments;
—   social partners (trade unions and employer associations), professional associations, accreditation, validation and assessment bodies;
—   market analysts and policy makers; and
—   other organisations and stakeholders in public and private sectors.
This document is provided as one fundamental building block of ICT Professionalism for Europe.
The prime objective of this document is to provide a significant contribution to the broad concept of ICT professionalism founded upon four building blocks, body of knowledge, e-CF competence, professional ethics and education and training. Complementary to the EN 16234-1 (e-CF) that provides an efficient and broadly accepted common European language about ICT professional competence, the European ICT Foundational Body of Knowledge (ICT BoK) makes an additional contribution to ICT professional knowledge, increasing transparency and maturity of the ICT Profession across Europe.
Specifically, the document provides a structured library of knowledge elements applicable to ICT professionals across a broad spectrum of disciplines. The knowledge elements are identified as either:
a)   common knowledge applicable to all ICT professionals regardless of speciality;
b)   base knowledge that provides a foundation and underpins each of a range of different disciplines/specialisms;
c)   specialised knowledge pertaining to in-depth, very specific expert knowledge.
Although providing and adding value to all stakeholders, knowledge defined by this document, provides a particularly useful perspective and entry point for educational institutions seeking to participate in ICT professional competence development. As a natural extension to EN 16234-1 (e-CF) dimension 4 knowledge examples, this document further facilitates the use of the shared European language for ICT Professional competence. By expanding the knowledge content of the EN 16234-1 (e-CF), it adds value to its application alongside further connected references.

It will incorporate the structural concept of EN 16234-1 and, in a comparable way, describe a blueprint of what is required and what competencies, skills and knowledge are needed to identify and address the ethical challenges that ICT professionals face in their work.
Therefore it will extend the ethics principles already described in the "Transversal Aspects of the e-Competence Framework" in such a way that concrete requirements and procedures can be defined and implemented in the respective context on the basis of the roles, methods and processes defined in the framework.
The Scope therefore is to crystalize ‘ICT Professional Ethics” into a manageable, structure “European Professional Ethics Framework for the ICT Profession” and to provide guidance on practical application provided by a methodology and application guide that will support the establishment of codes of ethics.

1.1 Purpose
This document establishes the minimum requirements for the qualification and certification of personnel performing non-destructive testing (NDT), non-destructive inspection (NDI), or non-destructive evaluation (NDE) in the aerospace manufacturing, service, maintenance and overhaul industries. For the purposes of this document, the term NDT will be used and will be considered equivalent to NDI and NDE.
In Europe, the term "approval" is used to denote a written statement by an employer that an individual meets specific requirements and has operating approval. The term "certification" as defined in 3.2 is used throughout this document as a substitute for the term "approval". Except when otherwise specified in the written practice, certification in accordance with this document includes operating approval.
1.2 Applicability
1.2.1 General
This document applies to personnel using NDT methods to test and/or accept materials, products, components, assemblies or sub-assemblies. This document also applies to personnel: directly responsible for the technical adequacy of the NDT methods used, who approve NDT procedures and/or work instructions, who audit NDT facilities, or who provide technical NDT support or training.
This document does not apply to individuals who only have administrative or supervisory authority over NDT personnel or to research personnel developing NDT technology for subsequent implementation and approval by a certified Level 3.
Personnel performing specialized inspections using certain direct readout instruments as determined by a Level 3 person certified in the test method, do not require qualification or certification to this document.
1.2.2 Implementation
This document addresses the use of a National Aerospace NDT Board (NANDTB). NANDTBs are only used as specified according to Annex C and it is not mandatory to have such a board for compliance with this document. Personnel certified to previous revisions of NAS 410 or EN 4179 need not recertify to the requirements of this document until their current certification expires.
1.3 Test Methods
1.3.1 Common test methods
This document contains detailed requirements for the following common NDT methods:
Eddy Current Testing   (ET)
Magnetic Particle Testing   (MT)
Penetrant Testing   (PT)
Radiographic Testing   (RT)
Thermographic Testing   (TT)
Ultrasonic Testing   (UT)
1.3.2 Other test methods
When invoked by engineering, quality, cognizant engineering organization or prime contractor requirements, this document applies to other current and emerging NDT methods used to determine the acceptability or suitability for intended service of a material, part, component, assembly or sub-assembly. Such test methods can include, but are not limited to, acoustic emission testing (AT), neutron radiography, leak testing, holography, and shearography. The requirements for personnel training, experience, and examination for these other test methods are established in accordance with 6.4 and are documented by the employer.

This document gives guidance for the organization of learning and development in the workplace. This guidance is concerned with formal and informal learning that addresses short-term operational needs and the long-term skills needs of an organization as well as the career-related and life-long learning needs of individual workers as these align with organizational context and strategy. The administrative operations connected with the organization of learning and development are outside the scope of this document. In this document, where any process involving one-to-one or group interaction is referred to, such interaction can be either face-to-face or through some form of online technology. Organizations include both commercial and non-profit employers of all sizes which directly employ individuals. The guidance principles set out in this document apply to all workers who have a relationship with the organization, such as contractors, subcontractors, trainees, interns and volunteers when they work on behalf of the organization in some contractual or non-contractual capacity.

This document specifies requirements for the qualification and certification of personnel who perform
industrial non-destructive testing (NDT) in the following methods.
a) acoustic emission testing;
b) eddy current testing;
c) leak testing (hydraulic pressure tests excluded);
d) magnetic testing;
e) penetrant testing;
f) radiographic testing;
g) strain gauge testing;
h) thermographic 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).
The system specified in this document is also applicable to other NDT methods or to NDT techniques
within an established NDT method, provided a comprehensive scheme of certification exists and
the NDT method or NDT technique is covered by international, regional or national standards or the
NDT method or the NDT technique has been demonstrated to be effective to the satisfaction of the
certification body.
NOTE 1 The term "industrial" implies the exclusion of applications in the field of medicine.
NOTE 2 CEN/TR 14748 provides guidance on the methodology for qualification of non-destructive tests.
NOTE 3 This document specifies requirements for what are, in effect, third party conformity assessment
schemes. These requirements do not directly apply to conformity assessment by second or first parties, but
relevant parts of this document can be referred to in such arrangements.
NOTE 4 The term “direct unaided visual testing” implies where there is an uninterrupted optical path from
the observer’s eye to the test area and the observer uses no tools or devices (e.g. mirror, endoscope, fibre optic).
NOTE 5 Calculations of strain based on other NDT methods are excluded.

This document provides guidance and inspiration on how to design/redesign, develop, maintain, adjust, and compare ICT Professional curricula and learning programmes as scoped by EN 16234 1:2019 and related documents.
EN 16234 1:2019 (e-CF) is the starting guiding point for this document, for a shared European language for ICT professional development. Other framework sources can be used to apply the methodology outlined in this document.
This document is for application by educational institutions, learning programmes and certification providers of all types (public and private), providing ICT Professional education and training including:
•   Higher Education (HE);
•   Vocational Education and Training (VET);
•   Any other educational or training institution or provider in professional ICT, e.g. Continuous Professional Development (CPD).
This document is focused on guiding education providers on how to align curricula and learning programmes with the structure and principles of EN 16234 1 (e-CF) e-Competences and CWA 16458 1 ICT Professional Role Profiles. It applies to all forms of education, supporting educational providers who plan to use a shared European language on knowledge, skills, competences and roles, as ingredients for the successful provision of ICT Professional education and training.
The guidelines, provided by this document, include formal, non-formal and industry developed education and training through the provision of high-level, consistent recommendations and guidance for ICT curriculum or learning programme design by any education provider.
In this document, a distinction is made between a learning programme and a curriculum. The term “curriculum” is strongly associated with formal educational institutions and degrees, the term “learning programme” indicates a broader, more encompassing concept, also incorporating training and other learning programmes, not restricted to only “curricula”. As the proposed methodology in this document relates to both curricula and learning programmes, the term ‘learning programme’ is used throughout the text. If the term ‘curriculum’ is used, then that narrower meaning is explicitly applicable in that situation.
