European Methodology for Qualification of Non-destrutive Testing (Third Issue)

Abstract

In this publication the third issue of the European methodology for qualification of NDT is described. The European methodology document contains guidelines for the qualification of non-destructive testing. Qualification as defined in this document is a combination of technical justification, which involves assembling all supporting evidence for inspection capability (results of capability evaluation exercises, feedback from site experience, applicable and validated theoretical models, physical reasoning), and test piece trials using deliberately defective test pieces.
