the founders of
ICNDT. He strongly
supported the itinerancy of the NDTWorld Conference

The Founders of ICNDT had 50 years ago this vision; they felt the needthat only a strong international cooperation were able to develop the potential capabilities of the early NDT Methods.
Moved by this idea they ground in 1954 the first “nucleo” of ICNDT, in thecity of Antwerp were an enthusiastic manufacturer of X Ray films Mr.
Gevaert, invited Scientists and Technicians to discuss their experiences.
Along the years the foundamental aims, committed to ICNDT, have been achieved:– ICNDT is to day the prime referent in matter of NDT in the World;– ICNDT has promoted the foundation of 62 NDT Societies in different Countries;– ICNDT is active in the international collaboration with ISO, IAEA, ASME, CEN, etc.;– ICNDT has promoted the formation of 4 Regional Groups: EFNDT (European Federation for NDT), APNDT (Asia Pacific NDT), PANNDT (Pan America NDT), AFNDT(Africa Federation NDT);– ICNDT has assigned the organization of 16 World conferences on NDT;– ICNDT has promoted and supported the activity for 30 years to achieve the global scheme
for the Qualification and Certification of NDT Personnel international recognized.

Montreal 2004

The ICNDT recommended Guidelines Ed. 2004 for the Qualification and Certification
of NDT Personnel according ISO 9712 distributed in Montreal, is the most complete document in which the requirements of norms (ISO:EN) Authorities (ASME, PED, etc.) Industry
are fully represented.
The 50th Anniversary celebrates one of the best moment of ICNDT; its dedication to NDTSocieties has been the key of its successs.
A great thanks to all NDT Societies for their great help in leading the ICNDT Policy; aparticular thanks to the people that with an inestimable voluntary service have worked, in
the Working groups, in the operating Committee, at home.
A special thanks to AIPnD (Italian Society for NDT) for its vital financial support.
Shall be the day’s of Montreal a source of enthusiasm for all of us to continue this invaluable
work for the benefit of the International NDT Community.

BANGLADESHIn Vietnam there are many organization be allowed to train
and issue the qualification and certification of NDT personnel, so it is difficult to total up the number of certificates.
However, VANDT still bring forward the number of certificates issued by VANDT as follows:
1. Number of certificates according to ISO9712/EN473 (forlevel 1and 2)
Level 1: UT = 42; RT = 32; MT = 23; PT = 16; ET = 4
Level 2: UT = 31; RT = 25; MT = 18; PT = 11
Up to now, we have never trained any level 3-NDT-Personnel.
We hope that VANDT and ICNDT will cooperate to organization
many course on level 3 NDT in Vietnam in the future. In July
VANDT going to organization a course on NDT (UT, RT, MT, PT(level 1 and 2)) therefore the number of NDT personnel are issued certificates by VANDT will increase considerable. About
the number of certificates according to other schemes issued
in our country, we have not had statistics about them.

There have been over 50,000 PCN (EN473/ISO9712) certificates issued over the past 12 years. There are presently
17,000 valid PCN certificates held by 7.668 individuals
working or residing in over 50 countries worldwide.

Ferenc FücsökThe ICNDT Journal, continuing the overview oncertification around the world, lanched a call to
all NDT Societies with a view to collect data to be
discussed at the ICNDT Seminar on ISO 9712
scheduled in Montreal during the 16th WCNDT.
The aside table summarises the results obtained
from replies.

In order to build up a strong and effective infrastructure of local NDT practitioners at international standards and to attainself reliance in the field of NDT technology, NDT training program has been taken up through the adaptation of ISO-9712
in Bangladesh. A National Certifying Body in the name of"NDT Personnel Certification Committee (NDTPCC)" has been
constituted with the representatives from BSNDT and other
different organizations with the approval of the Govt. of
Bangladesh. Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission has
been organizing the National NDT certification courses in active collaboration with NDT Personnel Certification Committee
and NDT Academic Committee since 1986. Under this program 265 personnel are trained to NDT level 1 and 2 through27 National NDT Certification Courses

Enclosed there are the corresponding data for the Certification
Body of DGZfP. Please note, that there are other Certification Bodies in Germany. The numbers of those are not available to us. In
addition, the Certificates associated with the European Pressure
Equipment Directive in the table are associated with EN 473.
Rainer Link

NORWAYIn Norway there are two centres for NDT certification. We(the secretariat for the Norwegian NDT Society) has ask
these two certification bodies to reply to us regarding yourquestions, but I have not succeeded in receiving the information you ask for. They claim it is too difficult to extract
the data (high degree of mix between the Nordic countries),
so the best I can do to help you is to make some rough estimates regarding NDT certificated issued to Norwegian
NDT personnel (regardless if the certificates have been issued in Norway, Sweden og Denmark). The best would
have been to summerize the "EN 473/Nordtest-issued" (theNordic countries) certificates as one area.

Philippines have the national standard on the qualificationand certification of NDT Personnel. The original standard
PNS-146:1987 was adopted from draft ISO/9712-1987 in
1987. PNS-146:1987 was revised in 1998 adopting the draft
ISO/9712-1997 and was renumbered PNS-146:1998. The
same national standard PNS-146:1998 is now being revised
to adopt ISO/DIS9712-2003 Edition. This will be renumbered
PNS/ISO-9712-2003 when approved. During the implementation of the national standard, from 1987 to 2004, the 3member National Certifying Body for NDT [NCB] issued thefollowing number of NCB certificates after the applicantspassing the national certification examinations in each NDT
method and level of proficiency (composed of 2 written examinations and 1 practical examination and conducted by a
Level 3 examiner). Per requirements of PNS-146:1998, thevalidity of the certificates is 4 years from the original 2 years
as required in PNS-146:1987. In the revision of PNS146:1998, the validity will be 5 years as reflected in
ISO/DIS9712-2003. Some local NDT companies providing
NDT services are still certifying some of their personnel per
ASNT-TC-1A but statistics are not available since such certifications is no longer effective when the NDT personnel
transferred to another company.

In response to your request, I am pleased to provide information regarding certifications issued by ASNT. There areseveral points, however, that must be understood regarding
the data. First, these are for the certifications issued by ASNT. As such, they encompass personnel in 67 countries, notjust the USA. Conversely, the data does not include certifications issued by other organizations for personnel in theUSA. The largest group of these would be employer-based
certifications, which are common in the USA. It should also
be noted that ASNT does not issue certifications for Level I
personnel. With these notes, you will understand that thedata does not exactly address your request, but it is the information that I have and I hope that it will be useful.
As of June 30, 2004:
ISO 9712 based 4,027 ACCP certificates in 9,897 methods

National Standard Bureau till now. We were told it might beapproved by the end of this year. We are now adopting National Standard of GB 9445-1999, which has a little reviseof ISO 9712. Our Society has issued the certificates of Level
I is about 12000, Level II is about 23000 and Level III isabout 1300. Our Society holds National Conference once
three or four years, the coming one will be in 2008 and thetraining class, all the year round. Each branch society (almost every province one branch) runs one training center,and carries out the training class of Level I and II. Only Society Certification body does training class of Level III, one
or two times a year. We have members about 100000,200of them are corporate members, others are individual.

the Certification Body for Non-Destructive Testing Personnel as one of the services offered by them to the industry in South Africa. Working committees have been
established and it is anticipated that the Scheme, which
will be in line with ISO 9712, will be put to the Council for
approval early in 2005. ECSA will be audited by the South
African National Accreditation Service (SANAS) to establish compliance to EN 45013 viz. ISO 17024. In addition
to these requirements, the Unit Standards for Non-Destructive Testing, which define both the intent and content of training programs and courses, must be put into
place for approval by the South Africa Qualification Authority.
ECSA will establish the National Register for NDT personnel as part of their functions as the Certification Body for
NDT personnel in the RSA. The Act under which ECSA isestablished does however also compel ECSA to identify
critical areas, particularly areas where public health andsafety is affected, and to issue licenses to operate to registered personnel for these identified categories of work.
For NDT these reserved categories must still be identified. It is anticipated that a number of these reserved
categories will be identified by the various industrial sectors, which are co-operating in putting the system into
place.
These developments will ensure that in South Africa thecertification of NDT personnel is taken to the next level andput the certification of NDT on par with first world countries. The requirements of ISO 9712 and ISO 17024 will befully met, and, in addition, NDT training will form part of the
National Qualification Framework defined for South Africa.
The South African Qualification and Certification Committee(SAQCC) has been operating a qualification scheme for NDT
operators since 1985. This scheme was in essence in linewith the requirements of ISO 9712 and to date approximately 2500 candidates have been issued with certificatessince the inception of the scheme.

Registration and licensing of NDTpractitioners in South Africa
In South Africa the control and registration on Engineering
Personnel is vested in the Engineering Council of South
Africa (ECSA), which is constituted by an act of parliament. The Act was recently amended to also put the control of Certification Systems in other disciplines, which on
their own would not qualify personnel to register as Professional Engineering Technicians, Professional Engineering Technologist or Professional Engineers, under the auspices of ECSA.
As a result of these developments ECSA agreed to establish

Czech Society
for Non-Destructive Testing CNDT
CNDT is a non-profit association, the aim of which is topromote the development and application of non-destructive testing (NDT) in the Czech Republic.
The main goals of the association are as follows:• scientific and technological undertakings• conferences, seminars and workshops• co-operation with organisations with the same aims,
both domestic and international• organisation of activities aimed to education, qualification and certification of workers in the area of non-destructive defectoscopy• publication activities in NDT Welding Bulletin (ISSN 12133825)• counselling and expert activities• taking part in creating and application of standards• support of young workers (it enables them to take partconferences abroad and it ensures them contacts withforeign workplaces).
CNDT is organised on regional and professional principles
and it is divided into 6 regional and 6 technical groups(transport, acoustic emission, noise and nonlinearity testingetc.). The Society has about 500 individual and collective
members and 15 firm members. The most important NDTevent organised this year will be the 34th International conference and exposition Defectoscopy 2004 (November 35, 2004, _pindleruv Mlyn).The International Workshop NDTin Progress 2005 will be the third event in a serie started
