Accreditation is critical to ensuring there is an effective quality management system that affords greater process control, reduces risk, and ulitmately results in increased customer satisfaction. And, thanks to the pandemic, it got a little easier.
The information presented herein is intended to be of a general nature and so can be applied to most employer-based certification programs. It is intended for those who may not have a great deal of familiarity with the nuances of NDT certification records or programs.
Quality management systems have been around for many years now, but you might ask yourself, why set out to comply with a written standard, and why be certified?
One of the first requirements for the performance of nondestructive testing (NDT) arose when visual inspections were mandated following fatalities from a boiler explosion in the late 1800s. The need to formalize the qualification of NDT practitioners gradually became apparent.
Quality certification is for professionals who know the chosen specialty so well that they can apply the knowledge with known results. The professional knows their own strengths, and the limitation of the specialty.
A professional certification is a formal recognition that an individual has demonstrated a proficiency within, and comprehension of, a specified body of knowledge (BoK).
President John F. Kennedy famously said, “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” This was his challenge to every American citizen to contribute in some way to the public good.
Nondestructive testing (NDT) is an extremely critical step in many industries. The safety of individual parts, entire systems, and even people can be directly tied to NDT.
Nondestructive testing (NDT) encompasses a variety of test and inspection procedures that are used to find defects or inconsistencies in test samples without compromising the integrity of the parts.
