standard establishes the minimum requirements for the qualification and certification of personnel performing
nondestructive testing (NDT), nondestructive inspection (NDI), or nondestructive evaluation (NDE) in the
aerospace manufacturing, service, maintenance and overhaul industries. In 2002, NAS 410 was harmonized
with European Norm 4179 (listed in the CEN section), so that the requirements in both documents are
identical.
NAS 999, Nondestructive Inspection of Advanced Composite Structures. This specification establishes the
requirements for non-destructive inspection (NDI), NDI standards, NDI methods, and NDI acceptance criteria.
AIA standards can be purchased through Global Engineering Documents.

INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR STANDARDIZATION

(ISO) www.iso.org
The International Organization for Standardization, the world's largest developer and publisher of
International Standards, is a non-governmental organization located in Geneva, Switzerland. ISO is a
network of the national standards institutes of 161 countries, one member per country. Many of the ISO
member institutes are part of the governmental structure of their countries, or are mandated by their
government. Other members have their roots uniquely in the private sector, having been set up by national
partnerships of industry associations. Three of the many ISO standards are listed below:
ISO 9712, Non-destructive testing - Qualification and certification of personnel. This International standard, which
was revised in 2012, provides the requirements for the NDT certification of NDT personnel by an accredited
third-party certification body that conforms to the requirements of ISO/IEC 17024, Conformity assessment
General requirements for bodies operating certification of persons.
ISO/IEC 17024, Conformity assessment - General requirements for bodies operating certification of persons. This
international standard was developed with the objective of achieving and promoting a globally accepted
benchmark for organizations operating certification of persons.
ISO/IEC 17011, Conformity assessment - General requirements for accreditation bodies accrediting conformity
assessment bodies. This international standard specifies the general requirements for accreditation bodies.
ANSI, the U.S. accreditation body that has accredited ASNT, is accredited under ISO 17011 and is a member
of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF), the world association of Conformity Assessment Accreditation
Bodies in the fields of management systems, products, services, personnel and other similar programs of
conformity assessment.

EUROPEAN COMMITTEE FOR STANDARDIZATION (CEN) www.cen.eu

The European Committee for Standardization is a business facilitator in Europe, removing trade barriers for
European industry and consumers. Its mission is to foster the European economy in global trading, the
welfare of European citizens and the environment. CEN is a major provider of European Standards and
technical specifications. It is the only recognized European organization according to Directive 98/34/EC for
the planning, drafting and adoption of European Standards in all areas of economic activity with the exception
of electro-technology and telecommunication. CENs 31 National Members work together to develop
voluntary European Standards (ENs).
Standards (Norms) developed by CEN are considered harmonized standards that are required to be
accepted by all member nations in the European Union. The following two ENs are NDT certification
standards:
EN 4179, Aerospace series - Qualification and approval of personnel for non-destructive testing. This employer-
based certification standard is the European version of NAS 410, which was described under the Aerospace
Industries Association section on this web page.
EN 473, Non-destructive testing - Qualification and certification of NDT personnel - General principles. This
European Standard established principles for the third-party (central) qualification and certification of
personnel who perform industrial non-destructive testing (NDT) by an accredited third-party certification body.
Under EN 473, certification bodies had to administer procedures for certification according to the
requirements of EN 473 and must fulfill the requirements of EN ISO/IEC 17024.
EN ISO 9712, which was approved in June 2012, replaced EN 473 as the European harmonized standard
(Norm) for NDT central certification effective 1 January 2012. EN ISO 9712 permits the use of current EN
473 certifications until the certificate holders' next renewal period, at which time they must recertify in
accordance with the EN ISO 9712 requirements. EN ISO 9712 and ISO 9712 are identical except that EN
ISO 9712 has been approved as a harmonized standard for use under the European Pressure Equipment
Directive 97/23/EC.

Phrase in English title box.

EUROPEAN PRESSURE EQUIPMENT DIRECTIVE

(PED) http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/pressure-and-
gas/documents/ped/
The Pressure Equipment Directive (97/23/EC) was adopted by the European Parliament and the European
Council in May 1997 and became obligatory throughout the European Union (EU) on 29 November 1999.
The purpose of the directive (European law) is to harmonize national laws of the member states of the EU
regarding the design, manufacture, testing and conformity assessment of pressure equipment and
assemblies of pressure equipment. It applies to the design, manufacture and conformity assessment of
pressure equipment and assemblies with a maximum allowable pressure greater than 0.5 bar (~7.25 psi).
The full text of the PED, which is made up of 21 articles and seven annexes, can be found HERE. For
information on nondestructive testing, the PDF can be searched using non-destructive as a keyword.
There are also ten sets of guidelines in response to specific inquiries for interpretation of the PED text.
Click HERE for the index for these guidelines.
For a more complete explanation of the PED and how it relates to U.S. NDT companies, see the European
Pressure Equipment Directive web page.

STANDARDS BODIES FROM OTHER NATIONS

The number of countries having multiple NDT-related standards bodies is far too large to address here. A
listing of other national bodies may be found at http://www.ses-

REGULATORY AGENCIES
In instances where there are extreme issues involving public safety, the U.S. government may create
regulations above and beyond those provided by industry codes and standards. Two such examples of this
are the control and use of radioactive materials and the transport of hazardous liquids and gasses. The
government agencies responsible for oversight on these two subjects are the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (USNRC) and the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), respectively.
The regulations for both of these organizations can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). There
are 50 Titles in the CFR, with the USNRC regulations being under Title 10, Energy, and the USDOT
regulations being under Title 49, Transportation.
The USNRC portion of Title 10 is Parts 1-50. As a minimum, radiographers should be familiar with the
following parts:
Title 10, Part 34 (10CFR34): Licenses for industrial radiography and radiation safety requirements for industrial
radiographic operations;
10CFR20: Standards for protection against radiation; and
10CFR21: Reporting of defects and noncompliance.

These NRC regulations apply to radioactive materials only; the NRC does not address radiation such as X-
radiation, which is generated by electromagnetic means. Electromagnetic radiation is governed by the
Suggested State Regulations for Control of Radiation (SSRCR), which is addressed below.
The USDOT portion of Title 49 is under Parts 186-199, and the hazardous liquids and gasses Parts are as
follows:
49CFR192: Transportation of natural and other gas by pipeline: minimum Federal safety standards; and
49CFR195: Transportation of hazardous liquids by pipeline.
