Non-destructive Testing - Evaluation of vision acuity of NDT personnel (ISO 18490:2015)
SIST EN ISO 18490:2015

ISO 18490:2015 specifies the form of the optotype, the quality requirements for the chart, the test procedure, and the acceptance level for near vision acuity of NDT personnel. It also addresses the qualification requirements for personnel permitted to carry out the test.
ISO 18490:2015 only addresses near vision acuity under defined conditions similar to those encountered during routine NDT inspection. It does not address an individual's overall visual acuity and users are advised to consider the need for a general eye examination by specialist medical personnel to ensure general vision acuity is appropriate for job function.
ISO 18490:2015 does not address colour vision requirements.

EN 4179:2021(Main)
Aerospace series - Qualification and approval of personnel for non-destructive testing
SIST EN 4179:2022

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.

Additive manufacturing of polymers - Qualification principles - Classification of part properties (ISO/ASTM 52924:2023)
SIST EN ISO/ASTM 52924:2023

This document establishes the required or the achievable classes of part properties for additive manufactured polymer parts in order to get a common understanding on part quality. It is aimed at providers of manufacturing services for polymer parts who use additive manufacturing machines and at the customers for these services. Designers of parts as well as buyers and providers of manufacturing services can specify, in a traceable manner, the required or the achievable level of part properties with the aid of this document. The classification is based on mechanical, physical and geometrical properties. Further properties can be defined between buyer and provider of manufacturing.
This document is applicable to parts that have been manufactured from a thermoplastic polymer by means of thermal reaction fusion of material typically applied by a powder bed fusion (PBF) or material extrusion (MEX) processes. This document is also applicable to thermoplastic parts made by other processes, provided that due consideration is given to process-specific topics.
The classification of part properties applies to parts in as-built condition, that have been unpacked from the build space, with all support structures removed, but prior to any post-processing operations.
Specific industries (e.g. aerospace and medical) typically specify additional requirements.
