The certification covers proficiency in one or more of the following methods: a) eddy current testing; b) penetrant testing; c) magnetic testing; d) radiography; e) ultrasonic testing; f) leak testing (hydraulic tests excluded). The system described in this standard may also apply to visual inspection (VT), neutron radiography (NT), acoustic emission (AT), infrared thermography (IT), and other NDT methods where national certification programmes exist.
