This European Standard establishes the minimum requirements for the qualification and certification of personnel involved in non-destructive testing (NDT) within the aerospace industry. These requirements include training, experience and examinations for personnel performing NDT in the aerospace manufacturing, service, maintenance and overhaul industries.
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.
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)
These requirements include qualifications, training, experience and examinations for personnel performing NDT in the aerospace manufacturing, service, maintenance and overhaul industries.
