Aerospace series - Qualification and approval of personnel for non-destructive testing

This standard establishes the minimum requirements for the qualification and certification of personnel involved in non-destructive testing (NDT). These requirements include training, experience and examinations for personnel performing NDT in the aerospace manufacturing, service, maintenance and overhaul industries.
NOTE   In Europe the word "certification" may only be used when the certification process complies with the requirements of EN ISO/CEI 17024 and the term "approval" would be used to denote a written statement by an employer that an individual has met specific requirements. For simplification the term "certification" as defined in paragraph 3.2 is used throughout this standard as a substitute for the term "approval".

Luft- und Raumfahrt - Qualifikation und Zulassung des Personals für zerstörungsfreie Prüfungen

Diese Norm legt die Mindestanforderungen für die Qualifikation und Zulassung von Personal der zerstörungsfreien Prüfung (ZfP) fest. Diese Anforderungen beinhalten Ausbildung, Erfahrung und Prüfung von Personal, das in der Luft- und Raumfahrtindustrie in den Bereichen Fertigung, Dienstleistung, Instandhaltung und Überholung zerstörungsfreie Prüfungen durchführt.
ANMERKUNG   In Europa darf das Wort „Zertifizierung“ nur verwendet werden, wenn der Zertifizierungsprozess den Anforderungen der EN ISO/IEC 17024 entspricht, und der Begriff „Zulassung“ ist zu verwenden, um eine schriftliche Bestätigung eines Arbeitgebers zu bezeichnen, dass eine Person spezielle Anforderungen erfüllt. Zur Vereinfachung wird in dieser Norm durchgängig der Begriff „Zertifizierung“ nach der Festlegung in 3.2 anstelle des Begriffs „Zulassung" verwendet.
Anmerkung zur Deutschen Fassung: Die in der obigen Anmerkung zur Vereinfachung genannte Verwendung des Wortes „Zertifizierung“ anstatt „Zulassung“ bezieht sich auf Ausdrucksweisen und Gepflogenheiten in den USA (wegen der Inhaltsgleichheit mit NAS 410). In der Deutschen Fassung wird das Wort „Certification“ mit „Zulassung“ übersetzt. Dies ist in den Ländern, welche sich verpflichtet haben ISO Normen anzuwenden, erforderlich.

1 Scope
1.1 Purpose
This standard establishes the minimum requirements for the qualification and certification of personnel
involved in non-destructive testing (NDT). These requirements include training, experience and examinations
for personnel performing NDT in the aerospace manufacturing, service, maintenance and overhaul industries.
NOTE In Europe the word “certification” may only be used when the certification process complies with the
requirements of EN ISO/CEI 17024 and the term “approval” would be used to denote a written statement by an employer
that an individual has met specific requirements. For simplification the term “certification” as defined in paragraph 3.2 is
used throughout this standard as a substitute for the term “approval”.
1.2 Applicability
This standard applies to personnel using NDT methods to test and/or accept materials, products, components,
assemblies or sub-assemblies. It also applies to those individuals directly responsible for the technical
adequacy of the NDT methods used, as well as personnel performing external NDT technical audits or
providing technical NDT training. This standard is not intended to apply to individuals who only have
administrative authority over the personnel identified above, nor does it apply to research personnel
developing technology for subsequent approval by a certified Level 3.
1.3 Implementation
This standard merges the NDT personnel certification requirements of NAS 410 and EN 4179. It introduces
the concept of a National Aerospace NDT Board (NANDTB) from EN 4179, but it is not mandatory to have
such a board for compliance with this document. Individuals currently certified in accordance with either
NAS 410 or EN 4179 may have their current certification period extended to the maximum limits defined in
Clause 8 of this standard. Personnel do not need to recertify to the requirements of this standard until their
current or extended certification expires.
1.4 Common methods
This standard contains detailed requirements for the applicable training, experience, and examination for the
following common NDT methods:
Liquid penetrant (PT)
Magnetic particle (MT)
Eddy current (ET)
Ultrasonic (UT)
Radiography (RT)

1.5 Other methods
This standard may apply to other NDT methods that can be used to determine the acceptability or suitability
for intended service of a material, part, component, sub-assembly or assembly without impairment of the
intended part function. Such methods include, but are not limited to, acoustic emission, neutron radiography,
penetrant leak testing, thermography, holography, and computed tomography. The requirements for personnel
training, experience, and examination for these other methods shall be as established by the cognizant NDT
organization or NANDTB and shall be in accordance with the guidelines established for the methods listed
in 1.4.
