2INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTINGANNUAL REPORT 2012

Meetings
The ICNDT Executive Committee (IEC), chaired by Mike Farley, met three times after the 18th WCNDT in Durban by teleconference
and held two physical meetings, one at the 18th WCNDT on 14 April 2012 and another on 20 November 2012 in Luton. The Policyand General Purpose Committee (PGPC), chaired by Douglas Marshall, met on 14 April 2012, just prior to the 18th WCNDT. Thesemeetings played an important role in the governance of the ICNDT in a year during which significant progress has been made.
The activities of Working Group 1 (WG1), chaired by John Thompson, were also prominent during 2012 and meetings were heldat the 18th WCNDT. During this period, Alexander Mullin was elected as the new chair of Working Group 1 (WG1) and a physicalmeeting was held on 19 November 2012 in Luton, prior to the UK Certification Conference 2012.
The new ICNDT Certification Executive Committee (CEC) was formed under the chairmanship of Patrick Fallouey, with a secretariat
provided by John Thompson. The first meeting was a teleconference, in which six members, the secretary and the ICNDT Chairman Mike
Farley participated. This meeting focused on the development of a member survey covering the three main areas of CEC activity (multilateralrecognition agreement, conformity assessment of certification bodies, and the establishment and use of an ICNDT global examinationquestion bank). The results of this survey, which were extremely positive, were considered at the second physical meeting of the CEC,
held on 19 November 2012 in Luton. Confirmed minutes of CEC meetings, together with documents for public access, are uploaded towww.icndt.org, the official ICNDT website.

Strategic Planning
During the year, the primary focus of the IEC was on delivering the actions of the strategic plan, which was developed following
the 18th WCNDT in Durban in April 2012, together with monitoring the action plan of the CEC and providing the ICNDT MRA& Assessment service.
On-going reviews of the progress of the resulting action plans were held at each IEC meeting. The main initiatives of the strategic plan are:l Support for NDT societies– Setting up workshops with regions such as central Asia and solving the multiple membership applications, promotion		 of ICNDT membership for the Middle East region.
l Promote the importance of NDT and establish links with external bodies– A working group was formed to promote the importance of NDT and had its first meeting at the ASNT Fall Conference		 in October 2012.
– External liaison with IAEA led by Dr Farley.
l Qualification and certification– ICNDT to create a document detailing certification schemes in accordance with the new EN ISO 9712.
– Develop ICNDT question bank.
– Certification Executive Committee.
– ICNDT CEC to manage MRA and ICNDT approval system and examination question bank.
l NDT research and education– Conduct research workshops similar to the one held at the 18th WCNDT in Durban at regional workshops such as		 APCNDT, ECNDT, etc.
l Radiation protection and security of radioactive sources– Provide advice to relevant bodies on radiation protection and security of radioactive sources, task led by Dr Matthias Purschke.		 Comments were provided to the World Institute for Nuclear Security on a new guide on the security of radioactive sources used		 for NDT. This is available via the ICNDT website.
l ICNDT management and administration– Draft document to clarify the responsibilities of officers.
– Publish structured membership on the ICNDT website.
– Clarify operating procedures for the position of annual meetings.
– Prepare a four-year timeline to assist management of actions.
– Review and update operating procedures.
The year 2012 also marked the successful delivery of the 18th WCNDT by SAINT and thanks are due for their contribution ofnearly €20,000 to ICNDT. With the support of the ICNDT Secretariat (BINDT), we are able to collect the membership fees in atimely way and this has put us in a better financial position than in previous years.
A total of 45 members (44 full members and 1 associate member) had paid their fees by the end of the year, thereby retaining theirmembership and voting status.
ICNDT also had a successful year with regard to gaining new members; currently we have 62 full members and 8 associate members.
ICNDT also conducted a workshop at the 18th WCNDT to raise awareness of ICNDT initiatives on qualification and certification,
including the ICNDT MRA.
