The qualification and certification of nondestructive testing (NDT) personnel is driven by one primary objective: to ensure safe and correct application of the NDT task.

When asking the question: “which certification system is best?”, we must draw the reader’s attention to the availability of several international standards that exist to ensure aspirant NDT technicians have received all appropriate theoretical and practical training within the NDT method and have garnered the required amount of practical industrial experience prior to being certificated by the certification body, the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT).
