Abstract

This European Standard establishes a system for the qualification and certification of personnel who perform industrial non destructive testing (NDT). The term ‘industrial’ implies the exclusion of applications in the field of medicine. NOTE: Wherever gender specific words such as "his", "her", "he" or "she" appear in this standard the other gender is also applicable. When certification of NDT personnel is defined in product standards, regulations, codes or specifications, it is recommended to certify the personnel in accordance with this EN 473. The certification covers proficiency in one or more of the following methods: a) acoustic emission testing; b) eddy current testing; c) leak testing (hydraulic pressure tests excluded); d) magnetic particle testing; e) penetrant testing; f) radiographic testing; g) ultrasonic testing; h) visual testing (direct unaided visual tests and visual tests carried out during the application of another NDT method are excluded). The system described in this standard can also apply to other NDT methods provided an approved programme of certification exists.
