Non-destructive testing - Qualification and certification of NDT personnel (ISO 9712:2021)

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.

Zerstörungsfreie Prüfung - Qualifizierung und Zertifizierung von Personal der zerstörungsfreien Prüfung (ISO 9712:2021)

Dieses Dokument legt Anforderungen an die Qualifizierung und Zertifizierung von Personal fest, welches industrielle zerstörungsfreie Prüfungen (ZfP) in den folgenden Verfahren ausführt:
a)   Schallemissionsprüfung;
b)   Wirbelstromprüfung;
c)   Dichtheitsprüfung (ausgenommen Wasserdruckprüfung);
d)   Magnetische Prüfung;
e)   Eindringprüfung;
f)   Durchstrahlungsprüfung;
g)   Dehnungsmessstreifenprüfung;
h)   Thermografieprüfung;
i)   Ultraschallprüfung;
j)   Sichtprüfung (ausgenommen direkte Sichtprüfungen ohne Hilfsmittel und Sichtprüfungen, die während der Anwendung eines anderen ZfP-Verfahrens durchgeführt werden).
Das in diesem Dokument festgelegte System ist auch auf andere ZfP-Verfahren oder ZfP-Techniken innerhalb eines bestehenden ZfP-Verfahrens anwendbar, wenn ein umfassendes Zertifizierungsprogramm existiert und das ZfP-Verfahren oder die ZfP-Technik durch internationale, regionale oder nationale Normen abgedeckt ist oder die Wirksamkeit des ZfP-Verfahrens oder der ZfP-Technik zur Zufriedenheit der Zertifizierungsstelle nachgewiesen wurde.
ANMERKUNG 1   Der Begriff „industriell“ bedeutet den Ausschluss von Anwendungen auf dem Gebiet der Medizin.
ANMERKUNG 2   CEN/TR 14748 bietet Anleitung zur Vorgehensweise zur Qualifizierung von zerstörungsfreien Prüfungen.
ANMERKUNG 3   Dieses Dokument legt praktisch die Anforderungen an Konformitätsbewertungssysteme von unabhängigen Prüfstellen fest. Diese Anforderungen gelten nicht unmittelbar für die Konformitätsbewertung durch Lieferanten oder interne Stellen, aber auf zutreffende Abschnitte dieses Dokuments kann in solchen Begutachtungen verwiesen werden.
ANMERKUNG 4   Der Begriff „direkte Sichtprüfung ohne Hilfsmittel“ bedeutet, dass der Strahlengang vom Auge des Betrachters zum Prüfbereich nicht unterbrochen ist und der Betrachter keine Werkzeuge oder Geräte (z. B. Spiegel, Endoskop, Faseroptik) verwendet.
ANMERKUNG 5   Dehnungsberechnungen auf der Grundlage anderer ZfP-Verfahren sind ausgeschlossen.

Essais non destructifs - Qualification et certification du personnel END (ISO 9712:2021)

Le présent document spécifie des exigences de qualification et de certification du personnel chargé d’effectuer des essais non destructifs (END) industriels dans les méthodes suivantes:
a) contrôle par émission acoustique;
b) contrôle par courants de Foucault;
c) contrôle d’étanchéité (les essais de pression hydrauliques étant exclus);

Le système spécifié dans le présent document peut également s’appliquer à d’autres méthodes ou techniques d’END employées dans une méthode d’END établie, à condition qu’un programme de certification complet existe et que la méthode ou technique d’END soit couverte par des normes internationales, régionales ou nationales, ou que la méthode ou technique d’END ait démontré son efficacité de façon satisfaisante aux yeux de l’organisme de certification.
NOTE 1        Le terme «industriel» implique l’exclusion d’applications dans le domaine médical.
NOTE 2        Le CEN/TR 14748 fournit des recommandations relatives à la méthodologie de qualification des essais non destructifs.
NOTE 3        Le présent document spécifie des exigences pour des systèmes qui, en pratique, sont des systèmes d’évaluation de la conformité par tierce partie. Ces exigences ne s’appliquent pas directement à l’évaluation de la conformité par première ou seconde partie, mais des parties appropriées du présent document peuvent être utilisées comme référence dans de tels cas.
NOTE 4        Le terme «contrôle visuel direct à l’œil nu» implique qu’il y a un chemin optique ininterrompu entre l’œil de l’observateur et la zone d’essai et que l’observateur n’utilise ni outil ni dispositif (par exemple, miroir, endoscope, fibre optique).
NOTE 5        Les calculs de contrainte basés sur d’autres méthodes d’END sont exclus.

v okviru uveljavljene metode neporušitvenega preskušanja, pod pogojem, da obstaja celovita shema certificiranja in
je metoda ali tehnika neporušitvenega preskušanja zajeta v mednarodnih, regionalnih ali nacionalnih standardih ali
da metoda ali tehnika neporušitvenega preskušanja izpolnjuje zahteve
certifikacijskega organa.
OPOMBA 1: Izraz »industrijski« pomeni, da je izključena raba na medicinskem področju.
OPOMBA 2: CEN/TR 14748 zagotavlja smernice za metodologijo za kvalifikacijo neporušitvenih preskusov.
OPOMBA 3: Ta dokument določa zahteve za sheme za ugotavljanje skladnosti, ki ga izvajajo tretje osebe. Te zahteve se ne uporabljajo neposredno za ugotavljanje skladnosti, ki ga izvajajo druge ali prve osebe, vendar pa se je mogoče v takih dogovorih sklicevati na ustrezne dele tega dokumenta.
OPOMBA 4: Izraz »vizualna preiskava brez pripomočkov« pomeni, da obstaja neprekinjena optična pot od opazovalčevega očesa do preskusnega območja in opazovalec ne uporablja orodij ali naprav (npr. ogledala, endoskopa, optičnih vlaken).
OPOMBA 5: Izračuni obremenitve na podlagi drugih metod neporušitvenega preskušanja so izključeni.
