BS EN 4179 Aerospace series. Qualification and approval of personnel for non-destructive testing

Keywords: Assessment, Materials handling

This standard establishes the minimum requirements for the qualification and certification of aerospace engineering personnel involved in non-destructive testing (NDT). Non-destructive testing is the branch of engineering concerned with all methods of detecting and evaluating flaws in materials. Flaws can affect the serviceability of the material or structure, so it is essential that your personnel are trained and qualified to the recognised NDT requirements.

These requirements include qualifications, training, experience and examinations for personnel performing NDT in the aerospace manufacturing, service, maintenance and overhaul industries.

This standard applies to personnel using NDT methods to test and/or accept materials, products, components, assemblies or sub- assemblies. It also applies to those individuals directly responsible for the technical adequacy of the NDT methods used, as well as personnel performing external NDT technical audits or providing technical NDT training.

BS EN 4179:2005 supersedes BS EN 4179:2000 which is now withdrawn.
