Non-destructive testing — Automated ultrasonic testing — Selection and application of systems
The information in ISO/TS 16829:2017 covers all kinds of ultrasonic testing on components or complete manufactured structures for either correctness of geometry, for material properties (quality or defects), and for fabrication methodology (e.g. weld testing). ISO/TS 16829:2017 enables the user, along with a customer specification, or a given test procedure or any standard or regulation to select: - ultrasonic probes, probe systems and controlling sensors; - manipulation systems including controls; - electronic sub-systems for the transmission and reception of ultrasound; - systems for data storage and display; - systems and methods for evaluation and assessment of test results. With regard to their performance, ISO/TS 16829:2017 also describes procedures for the verification of the performance of the selected test system. This includes - tests during the manufacturing process of products (stationary testing systems), and - tests with mobile systems.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
