Strategic Planning
The strategic planning process developed by ICNDT since the 17th WCNDT in Shanghai plays an important role inthe direction of ICNDT and the formulation of its policies. The most significant initiatives are as follows:
l Support for NDT societiesl Promote the importance of NDT and establish links with external bodies
l NDT qualification and certification
l NDT research and educationl Promote best practices and harmonisation in NDT.
Most of these initiatives are inter-related and substantial progress has been made in many areas. ICNDT has continued
its support for NDT societies and has widened this further through greater involvement with IAEA, who have donemuch to raise the expertise of NDT personnel through its programmes in the SE Asia region, Africa and South America.
The meeting held with IAEA in Vienna in September resolved to extend the degree of support and cooperation
between the two organisations.
Considerable detailed work has been undertaken by Working Group 1 (WG1) on qualification and certification. Under
the direction of John Thompson, this working group is well advanced in developing a global Multilateral Recognition
Agreement for third-party accredited certification bodies who are members or associate members of ICNDT. Inaddition, it is also developing an ICNDT Approval Scheme for certification bodies to complement accreditation.
ICNDT is represented on a Joint Working Group of TC135 and TC138, which is looking at the harmonisation of EN473
and ISO9712 standards. At a meeting in Vienna, further progress was made towards achieving a single global standard
that will complement the activities of WG1 and promote best practices and harmonisation in NDT.
