Calibration is the process of testing or checking an instrument against a known standard.

The International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG®) spearheaded a monumental effort twenty-five years ago to establish uniform standards across the aviation, space, and defense industries, aiming to streamline operations while bolstering quality and safety.

NDT personnel must be qualified and certified to perform their tasks safely and correctly. BINDT provides certification options for central certification under the PCN banner, complying with BS EN ISO 9712:2022. Other certification systems, such as employer-based schemes, also exist.

During our time in the Richmond section, we collaborated with a local charity to streamline their donation process through 5S and lean principles, an endeavor later showcased at WCQI. ASQ events prioritize enjoyment alongside professional development, fostering connections.

Like most quality professionals, I did not start out looking at it as a profession.

The implosion of the Titan submersible is just one instance of tragedy that NDT might have been able to prevent.

Tooling Tech Group (TTG), a provider of custom tooling and automation solutions, has announced the company’s ITAR-compliance across its 12 facilities.

The Level III (SNT-TC-1A) / Level 3 (NAS 410) population of inspectors is graying and looking forward to retirement. A problem for the foreseeable future is a current shortage of qualified Level IIIs in all NDT methods.

Why is certification of an organization’s quality management system to ISO 9001 – or AS9100, or IATF 16949 or ISO 13485 – so special? What does the certification signify? And what supports the paper behind that framed certificate?

At the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT), the world's largest technical society for nondestructive testing professionals, we believe that the public deserves to have confidence in their NDT professionals.
