Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
In exceptional circumstances, when a technical committee has collected data of a different kind from that
which is normally published as an International Standard (“state of the art”, for example), it may decide by a
simple majority vote of its participating members to publish a Technical Report. A Technical Report is entirely
informative in nature and does not have to be reviewed until the data it provides are considered to be no
longer valid or useful.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/TR 25108 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 138, Non-destructive testing, in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 135, Non-destructive
testing, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna
Agreement).
ISO/TR 25108:2006(E)
Introduction
With this Technical Report, ISO/TC 135 and CEN/TC 138 present to the worldwide non-destructive testing
(NDT) community their recommendations for the minimum technical knowledge to be required of NDT
personnel. These recommendations provide means for evaluating and documenting the competence of
personnel whose duties demand the appropriate theoretical and practical knowledge.
As part of the efforts to streamline and harmonize the training and certification of NDT personnel, ISO/TC 135
and CEN/TC 138 have been actively involved in developing guidelines for training syllabuses (ISO/TR 25107)
and for NDT training organizations (this Technical Report). These documents are intended to serve those
involved in training and to be useful in achieving a uniform level of training material and — consequently — in
the competence of personnel.
This document, together with ISO/TR 25107, represents two years of effort for working groups of the two
technical committees in the promotion of harmonization and mutual recognition of minimum requirements
taken from the different existing certification schemes.
The content of this first edition has been based on the experience of the experts as well as on comments from
the end-user industries, as well as the most recent edition of the International Committee for Non-destructive
testing (ICNDT) recommended guidelines.
The time allotment for the different topics takes into account the latest developments in each method and, as
a consequence, the total duration can be sometimes greater than the minimum duration required by ISO 9712
and EN 473.
This Technical Report is to be revised in the coming years in order to maintain a workable document in line
with the development of NDT methods and techniques.
ISO/TC 135 and CEN/TC 138 wish to express their appreciation to all those who contributed to the production
of this publication.

TECHNICAL REPORT ISO/TR 25108:2006(E)
Non-destructive testing — Guidelines for NDT personnel
training organizations
1 Scope
This Technical Report gives guidelines for non-destructive testing (NDT) training organizations, with the
intention of harmonizing and maintaining the general standard of training of NDT personnel for industrial
needs.
It also establishes the minimum requirements for effective structured training of NDT personnel to ensure
eligibility for qualification examinations leading to third-party certification according to recognized standards.
NOTE ISO/TR 25107 gives associated guidelines for NDT training syllabuses intended for the general part of training
courses.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
EN 1330 (all parts), Non-destructive testing — Terminology
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 1330 apply.
4 Training organization management
The training organization should appoint a person to be responsible for the overall management of the training
centre and courses.
A person should also be appointed to be responsible for establishing a quality management system covering
all aspects of the training services provided.
5 Quality management system
The training organization should have a suitable quality management system, e.g. ISO 9001:2000.
The system should be controlled and periodically reviewed according to the stipulations in the quality
management system. The organization should
⎯ determine the necessary competence for personnel performing work affecting the NDT training quality,
⎯ provide training or take other actions to satisfy these needs, and
⎯ evaluate the effectiveness of the action taken, where the competence of an individual is based on
appropriate education, training, skills and experience.
ISO/TR 25108:2006(E)
6 Induction of candidates
The training organization should provide all information and conditions necessary for attendance in the
training courses — for example, a system of induction could ensure that, upon receipt of an application for,
training, candidates are provided with unambiguous information/instructions on the following.
⎯ Training course fees, including all that is covered by the fees, and methods of payment. There should be
no hidden extras requiring further payments, and a schedule of course fees should be published.
⎯ Dates and times for course attendance, and clear instructions concerning the location of the training
venue.
⎯ Transport (including information of parking), accommodation and catering arrangements.
⎯ NDT equipment required to be provided by the candidate, and details of the NDT equipment provided by
the training organization.
⎯ Personal protective equipment, if required, and details of the essential safety requirements pertaining to
the training venue, especially where the training course includes the use of ionizing radiation.
⎯ Any textbooks that the student is required to provide.
⎯ The name and contact information of a training organization representative from whom additional
information can be obtained prior to or during the training course.
7 Candidate assessment
A system of ongoing assessment of candidates should be used to ensure that the learning progress of the
individual candidate is monitored, and which results in counselling for those candidates that fail to achieve the
required standard at any point during the course.
An appropriate evaluation according to a suitable quality management system should be carried out and a
traceable statement of completion of training should be issued including the list of trainers.
8 Training syllabuses and course notes
The training organization should publish and make freely available upon request the detailed syllabuses upon
which the course is based. This should include, or make reference to, the relevant syllabus associated with
these guidelines.
The syllabuses should be reviewed periodically and revised, as necessary, in the light of scientific, industrial
or technical developments in the NDT method or sector of application concerned, or where a change occurs in
the examination syllabus associated with the qualification examination with which the course is aligned.
The training organization should maintain a master set of training course notes bearing a revision date,
reviewed periodically and revised as necessary, to ensure consistency between courses in the event of staff
changes.
Each candidate should be provided with a comprehensive set of appropriate course notes.
9 Facilities
The training environment should comply with all applicable health and safety legislation. Personal protective
equipment should be provided if candidates are not advised to provide this for themselves.
Classrooms and practical facilities should be well lit and ventilated, and there should be adequate provision of
teaching aids such as black/white boards, flip charts, overhead and digital projection and video equipment, as
appropriate to the course.
