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" .
