Non-destructive testing - Methodology for qualification of non-destructive tests

This document sets out basic principles and provides recommendations and general guidelines for carrying out qualification of non-destructive tests.
The document deals with methods for qualifying non-destructive tests to determine whether they are capable of attaining their objectives. It applies to all aspects of tests which influence their effectiveness.
The parties involved decide in their own responsibility on the need for a qualification of a non-destructive test. This includes identification of the qualification-team and its technical competence.
There may be a need for qualification when there is a deviation from a European NDT Standard, or when new techniques or methods are to be implemented for which there are no European Standards. Where there is a European NDT Standard which applies, there is no need for qualification.
Table 1 summarises when qualification is required.

Introduction
Non–destructive tests (NDT) are typically one of a great number of activities within the quality assurance at
manufacture or during maintenance of industrial products, where the objective is to ensure a defined or agreed
product quality.
This is especially the case if the non-destructive tests are carried out according to standards or other accepted
technical codes.
Qualification of a non-destructive test may be necessary in the case of non standardised NDT or if the NDT does
not fully
