Today, we celebrate the first
100 years of NDT. A hundredyears full of extraordinary
achievments, the developmentof the strong role of NDT inengineering science, its contribution to ensuring safety to human life, the founding of institutions assisting the development of NDT.
The advanced state of NDT that
we have today is the result of
the synthesis of a division oflabour that encompasses thediscovery by scientists, of theprinciples underlying our methods, the efforts of the pioneers
of NDT techniques, the work ofentrepreneurs who design theequipment, the technicians whodaily respond to the ever growing need for NDT, the founders
of NDT Societies responsible
for the promotion of NDT at
national level and the network
of ICNDT that tracks thecourse of NDT at an international level.
This 100 year anniversary is atestimony to enthusiasm andspirit that is the cornerstone of
the NDT profession.

New DGZfP Board elected in Innsbruck
Due to the sudden demise of Prof
Dierk Schnitgger in October last year,
in the middle of his third period as
DGZfP Chairman, an extraordinary
Board election became necessary.
This was conducted at the General Assembly in Innsbruck on 30th May 2000.
Dipl.-Ing. Hans Aisenbrey, who had
acted as the interim Speaker of theBoard, was elected as the new Chairman. New members of the Board: Wilfried Hueck of VEBA Oel AG. Previously on the Board and confirmed:
Dipl.-Ing. Jörg Völker and the Managing Board Member Dr Rainer Link.
The next ordinary election of theBoard is scheduled for May 2001, on
the occasion of the DGZfP Annual
Meeting in Berlin.

Cont’dErnst-Schiebold Commemorative
Medal 2000 awardedThis year’s Schiebold Commemorative
Medal, with a prize money of DM 8,000,
was awarded to Dipl.-Ing. Thomas Zweschper, born 1968, from the Institute for
Plastics Research and Plastics Science in
Stuttgart for his work on non-destructive
and contact-less characterisation, using
the Lockin thermography method. The
dynamic transport of heat enables the registration of discontinuities in components. This is what the Lockin thermography is based on, which delivers theamplitudes and phase images of the modulated heat transport. In bonding technology, the focus is on changing borderareas. Originally separate areas are pressed together. As the border area properties depend on the pressure of pressing the parts together, the Lockinthermography method is well suited toregister the contact pressure.
The systematic investigations of Thomas Zweschper in screwed and riveted
connections have yielded that the tightening force of the screws and the pull-off
strength of rivets may be read from thephase angles without contact, following
the respective calibration. It is particularly important for the practice, especially with regard to safety-relevant applications eg in aviation, to identify wrongly
tightened screws or rivets speedily.
Berthold Award 2000
This year’s Berthold Award of the
DGZfP, with a prize money of DM
8,000, went to Dr Christiane Maierhofer, born 1964, of the Federal Office forMaterials Research and Testing for her
work on radar applications in the construction industry. Dr Maierhofer foundout that certain properties of the construction materials, as for instance themoisture content, acid content and porous structure have a different influenceon microwaves. Thus, there is the possibility of measuring problematic acidcontent and detrimental moisture content separately. Dr Christiane Maierhofer heads the DGZfP sub-committee‘Radar Methods’ in the committee of‘NDT in the Construction Industry’.
She is in charge of drawing up a DGZfP
instruction leaflet there. She represents
Germany on several international bodies in her professional area.

The joint DACH meeting of the three
German language societies for nondestructive testing DGZfP (Germany),ÖGfZP (Austria) and SGZP (Switzerland) in Innsbruck from 29th to 31st
May was well attended by around 550
participants. There were 65 papers
presented and 51 poster contributions
under the heading of ‘NDT on thethreshold to the 3rd millennium’ covering more or less all areas of NDT.
DGZfP Chairman Dipl.-Ing. Hans
Aisenbrey said in his opening speechthat ‘important impulses for the design of international standards, for training and new communication structures’ had emanated from the DACH
organisation. ÖGfZP President Dipl.Ing. Artur Salcher stated that in theworld of NDT, the term DACH had
become ‘a synonym for successful international cooperation – and not only
a lip service’. Some 70 testing officials
had met on the day before for an international exchange of experience.
ISRAELThe Israeli National Society for
Non-Destructive Testing
The community of Non-Destructive
Testing (NDT) in Israel consists of
200 to 300 persons. Some of themwork in the defence industries andothers in the private industry. For
about 25 years they were organizedprofessionally as a chapter of the Israeli Metallurgical Association. The
NDT activity at that time consisted ofan annual one-day seminar and a number of meetings of the NDT Committee each year.
For a long time the Committee washeaded by Professor Amos Notea who
did much to advance the aims of
NDT, to initiate contacts with World
Conference of NDT, with the international NDT community and to increase awareness of the NDT profession.
Professor Notea is active in researchin the theory and applications of
NDE.
For some 15 years efforts were madeto join the European Federation of
NDT, but for political reasons these
efforts were not successful. With
Israel’s orientation towards Europe an
Israel Standard IS 1031, which was based on the European Specifications
EN 45013 and EN 473 was published.
A committee for the examination andcertification of NDT personnel wasformed but was unable to operate as
the requirements of receiving the European accreditation were not met.
In 1998 Mr. Gabi Shoef (one of thefounders of NDT in Israel) presented
to the Assembly of the European
NDT Federation a summary of NDTactivities in Israel and submitted theapplication for membership, on behalfof The Israeli NDT community. The
Federation accepted NDT Israel withconditions to be filled.
Joining the Federation necessitated
the formation of an independent
NDT society (ISRANDT), which today has some 200 Members, the formation of the Certification Body
(ISRACERT) and the meeting of all
the requirements of EN 45013, thedocuments that interpret it and all therequirements of the European Accreditation.
The Society received generous help
from Dr. Nardoni, the President of
ICNDT, Mr. John Thomson fromThe British Institute of NDT andothers, as well as from the Israeli Manufacturers Association. Contact wasestablished with SINCERT the national accreditation body of Italy. As partof the preparations an Examination
Center was set up at the Technion,
Haifa, a QualityManual and Operating Instructions was prepared, initial
examinations (of candidates) were
performed by ISRACERT and additional candidates were examined du-ring the witness assessment of the
SINCERT team.
At the end of September 2000, we received notification that SINCERT has
approved the accreditation of the ISRACERT activities, and we are currently
modifying our Certificates of logos toinclude the SINCERT logo. Recently,
we have applied to the Committee forMultilateral Recognition in England to
be included in their scheme.
We have not neglected other objectives of the Society. We have founded
an Israeli Section of the ASNT, which
is made up of members holding Level
III ASNT certifications and others.
The Section operates with the assistance of ISRANDT. As a significant
part of the Israeli Industry works according American standards, it is important for us that ASNT certified Level III experts will participate in examining and certifying Level II and Level I inspectors, and we filled up theapplication that our Examination Center will be approved by ASNT. The
Certification Body of ISRACERT signed an agreement with TUVCERT
Essen for examining in Israel NDT
personnel according the requirementsof PED 97/23 Article 13.
We have conducted two International
Congresses in Israel, one member participated in Congresses organized by
the ASNT in the USA, in the Plenary
Session of the Confederation in Paris,in the Congress of the Balkan Countries in Bulgaria, and we have held a
Seminar on NDT in Nigeria and Sofia. Our delegation, 13 members will
participate at the 15th World Conference on NDT Rome this October, giving 5 scientific presentations. We willcontinue in our activities and focus on
the education for Quality and Perfection, with the aim of enhancing thequalification level of NDT personnel
in Israel and to participate in national
and international projects for researchand development.

ICNDT'S INITIATIVES IN ISO“It is significative and timely to hold a Seminar on ISO 9712 in Roma” said Prof. Onoe in his article

Morio Onoe, Professor Emeritus, University of Tokyo
Honorary Member, ICNDTChairman of ISO/TC135 for 1993-1998
ISO/TC135 (NDT)
It is significant and timely to hold a seminar on
ISO9712 in Rome during the 15th WCNDT. This isbecause ICNDT has been a major promoter of international harmonization of qualification and certification
of NDT personnel and its realization is now in a crucial
stage. Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is an indispensable tool for product quality control and plant maintenance. Many standards have been developed to ensure
consistent, reliable and effective uses of NDT. The
growth of global trade and international activities called
for truly international standards rather than numerous
national and regional standards. ISO/TC135 was established in 1969 to meet this demand.
The first plenary meeting was held in London in 1970
and 6 SCs (Vocabulary, RT, UT, ET, MT and PT) were established. The interval of plenary meetings was 5
years for the first few meetings and then has been reduced to 2 years to reflect the increased activities.
All NDT can do is indirect observations of defects. As
such, the quality of NDT operation and interpretation
heavily depend on the skills of personnel. Hence manynational NDT societies introduced qualification andcertification schemes of personnel in 1960's. A needfor harmonization of these systems soon became apparent. TC135 at that time, however, was not enthusiastic to expand its activity beyond traditional NDT
methods and resolved so in the first plenary meeting in
1970. This was reversed in the second meeting in Philadelphia in 1975 and SC7 was established to coverqualification and certification of NDT personnel. But
the first meeting of SC7 was not held until 1983.
ICNDT recommendations
In the meantime, ICNDT established Task Group on
Harmonization in 1973, which produced in 1985 a collection of recommendations as shown in Table 1. Since
ICNDT is a voluntary organization, the task of international standardization was transferred to ISO. Both
ISO9712:1992 and CEN EN413:1993 -European
Standard- essentially came out from this same root. It
was unfortunate that there were many differences
between two standards. Although recent revisions in1998 reduced the number of differences, a complete
integration of two standards will take a few more years.
Other ICNDT recommendations, such as minimum
requirements (training syllabuses) of various NDT
methods, have rested on a shelf waiting standardization, although International Atomic Energy Agency(IAEA) used much of contents in its NDT training
guide: TECHDOC-407 (1987). Very wasteful, indeed!
These minimum requirements could be good companions with ISO9712. Training time and marking schedule of examinations specified in ISO9712 will havereal meanings when its contents will be well defined.
ICNDT Task Group WHxx-85 lead by Mr. Aufricht
will present a new revision of minimum requirementsin Rome. It is hoped to incorporate these requirements
into ISO9712 without wasting time.
ISO and CEN
A few words on a comparison between ISO standards
and CEN standards will be in order.
ISO standards are recommendations only and hence a
country is free to adopt partially or modify its contents
to make it easier for domestic acceptance. This spoils avalue of global standards. A CEN standard becomesmandatory to all participating countries, when it is formally adopted by voting described below.
Each member country of ISO has equal vote. Democratic! But there is little room to reflect the size of industry and its technical expertise of a large industrial
country. Formal adoption of a CEN standard is decided by a weighted majority vote of all member coun-(l-r) Prof. H. Kopinek (Germany), Prof. Z. Pawlowski (Poland, V. Klyuiev (Russia)
outstanding members of ICNDT; they strongly collaborated on the minimum training requirements ICNDT - WH - 85 adopted by ISO as reference for ISO 9712.

tries and is binding all of them. Hence when a CEN
standard is once formally adopted, it is difficult toamend it in ISO standardization process. This is especially true, if two dozens of vote held by European
countries are counted. The global coverage of ISO suffers distance barrier. Few countries have financial andhuman resources to participate in frequent meetings,
of which venues spread all over the world. CEN has nosuch problem, since most European cities can be reached within a few hours of flight.
ISO TCs work rather independently despite efforts ofmutual liaisons and the coordination by Technical Management Board (TMB) of ISO Central Office. Hencethe adoption of such overall management systems as
ISO 9000 and 14000 series has been slow and uneven.
The lack of an ISO document equivalent to CEN's
EN45013: General criteria for certification bodies
operating certification of personnel has caused muchdifficulty in harmonization of certification of NDT
personnel. European Union countries have had tounify their regulatory standards in the fields of safety,
health and environment. Hence there is a high incentive to speed up standardization. Closeness in distance,
similar cultural background and weighted vote alreadymentioned also helps to speed up processes.
ISO's problem and remedy
Global consensus aimed by ISO is nice, but a long timerequired to achieve the ideal is too slow in this rapidlychanging world. Recently TMB set the time limit, 43months from the registration of a new work item to a
final publication of standard. Even this time limit
seems too long in today's standard. ISO 9712, a key
document of certification of NDT personnel, however,took more than one decade before the publication. Table 2 shows its time marks.
There is a clear need to speed up standardization processes within ISO and improve mutual collaboration
between ISO and CEN. The Vienna Agreement is bilateral in its spirit. But its implementation much depends on how fast ISO can develop a standard. Adoption of a CEN standard as an international standard
without modification by a fast track will save much time and work. In view of large emerging as well as existing markets outside of Europe, however, global consensus, which ISO has aimed, cannot be ignored. Oncea CEN standard is issued, its modification within ISO
processes is rather difficult as already mentioned. Hence a mutual collaboration is desirable in early stage of
CEN standard. At one time, Working Groups of
CEN/TC138, which corresponds to TCs of
ISO/TC135 and conduct most actual work, were closed to non-European countries. Even if it were opened, few outside countries could participate in frequentmeetings because of distance barrier.
Traditional workflow of standardization based on daily
mails and occasional meetings has become obsolete
and unable to solve these pressing needs. Recent advances in electronic communication, however, especially the Internet offers much opportunities to improve mutual understanding, enable discussions in earlystages of development and speed up every steps ofstandardization with a substantial saving in cost, timeand man power. Document handling and management,
which are cores of standardization, can also greatly improved. Traditional paper documents distributed by
mail or facsimile needs retyping and reprinting, whereas electronic documents on the Internet are reusable
and recyclable. Indexing, version control, database andarchive are almost automatically obtained in electronic
documents. At the same time, much of printing, mailing and travelling cost can be saved.
Face to face personal contacts in a meeting are indispensable. The value of a meeting, however, is muchenhanced by mutual E-mail contact between NDT experts and preview of documents over the Internet. Fast
distribution of minutes and resolutions within a few
days over the Internet, not months by mail, will speed
up follow-up processes.
The phenomenological growth of the Internet in many
human activities has reason. It provides global coverage with speed and economy. Not only text but also such multimedia information as images, voices, videos
can be interactively communicated without little additional cost. Browsers provide universal office environment for viewing and writing with user-friendly manmachine interface. Degree of security has been improved to allow monetary transaction and distribution of
copyrighted material.
ICNDT Task Group on Internet will present a reportin Rome. It contains several recommendations to improve and speed up operations of ICNDT through theuse of Internet.
ISO recognized these trends and set up Information
Technology Strategies Implementation Group. It is aProf. M. Onoeright direction. But much work has to be done in timely manner. Similar situations, problems and possible
remedy by the Internet, exist in national and regional
standardization. Hence a change of workflow within
ISO is not good enough. Simultaneous re-engineeringof national and international workflow in standardization is desirable. There have been information gaps
between a national committee (an ISO member representing its country), domestic technical committees
and experts in ISO WGs. Sometimes the national
committee casted negative votes against documents
prepared by their own experts. Hence NDT societies
shall exercise their proper influence on domestic aswell as international standardization processes.
Conclusion
ICNDT is the only global entity comprising NDT societies and professionals. As such ICNDT shall encourage its members to pursue deserved influence in domestic and international standardization process. The
use of Internet will provide many opportunities.
ISO9712 is a monument of initiatives taken by ICNDT
more than a quarter century ago. But it is not completed yet. It is hoped that this seminar in Rome will accelerate the final finish through mutual cooperation.

Reflections of the Holy Father
JOHN PAUL II on authentic
culture expressed during
His pastoral mission.

Letter of the NDT Community to the Holy Father
Dear Holy Father
John Paul IIT

he people of the NDT Community enjoy and express their grateful thanks for the privilege wehave of joining you in this Papal Audience.

We are as Pilgrims, coming from 75 Countries, we arepart of the greatness of the Jubilee 2000.

The man of culture“Through your scientific and professional capacity you
can offer a service of authentic intellectual charity to your colleagues, to students, to society and all its institutions”.
“The real man of culture is not only an intellectual who reflects, evaluates and contemplates truth in an individualistic
ivory tower but is solidly involved in a prophetical task of forming sensitive consciences of saying NO to death, to hatred, toviolence, to terror, to degradation, and saying YES to the good, tothe beautiful, to truth, to justice, to responsibility, to life, topeace, to love”.

Harmonize technology with conscience“Love for truth, sought after in humility, is one of the greatvalues capable of uniting men and women of today across the various cultures”“All authentic cultures are open to the essential, and there is no truth which cannot be universal”“I trust that the man of science will preserve the sense ofman’s transcendence over the world, also of God’s transcendence
over man “and will link that universal sense of culture with a universal sense of fraternal love”“It is even more evident that cultural progress is closely
related with building a more just and more fraternal world”“The dialogue between science and faith shall enter into
an even more positive stage”

The believer and the world of culture

In this extraordinary time, we pray to enrich our faith.
Our work is to guarantee the integrity of materials, toprevent failures, for ensuring the safety of people.
Our profession takes us close to the harmony that exists
in the universe, to its beauty and splendour bringing us closer
to the mystery of creation and to the greatness of God.
Fundamental to our desire for a better world, is the awareness of the need for freedom, peace, social equity and love.
You give to all people an admirable testimony of faith andcourage in the way you promote peace and love at all times.
You have broken down the borders among religions bringing people of different faiths closer, maintaining their dignity;
Entering the 3rd Millennium You tell to all of us:“Don’t be afraid”“Non abbiate paura”
melting our anxiety and shaping a vision of hope andserenity.
Thanks for this illumination.
This Jubilee highlights the 2000th anniversary of thebirth of Jesus.
His life, His parables are still today a fundamental guide in religious life as in the social life.
We take part in your joy, in your enthusiasm, and inyour love for Jesus.
Going home, we take with us the intense emotion wefeel in your presence.

“The man of faith is conscious of covering a path together
with the rest of mankind within a history in which God achieves
his plan of love”

We will pray to God to give you the grace to continue
your divine mission for a long time.

“Faith, in its relation with culture presents itself as a clarification of God’s project, as an aid and complement to rationality; but rationality is not impoverished by having recourse to the
Faith.

ICNDT The International Committee
for Nondestructive TestingThanks for all that we have received.

Activities and perspectives

AUSTRALIAThe Asian-Pacific - Conference on NDTThe Asia-Pacific Conference on Non-Destructive Testing has its origins at the 7Th WCNDT Conference in
1973. During discussions between Dr Tenny and Professor Ishii the proposal "That it would be of benefit to the
Pacific-rim region if NDT Technology and Industry were promoted" was put. The first Pan-Pacific conference
was held in Tokyo, in 1976. Delegates from Korea, Japan and the USA attended. With the advent of non-Pacific-rim Asian countries applying to become members,
the proposal was put to a postal ballot that the name bechanged to the "Asian-Pacific" Committee on NDT (APCNDT) and at the Conference in Canada in 1987 thename was ratified.
Member countries include Canada, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Philippines, Taiwan,
Thailand, Singapore, USA, and Australia.
The committee consists of a President, Vice President,
Immediate Past President and one each voting delegate
from Member Countries. A-PCNDT aim is the dissemination and exchange of NDT information and technology. Conferences are held every two to three years,
except World Conference year. As well as the presentation of technical papers, there is an industry equipment
exhibition. The next conference is in Brisbane, Australia,
during September 2001 and the following conference in
Korea.

Meeting of Board of Directors in Berlin

by Jesus Serrano
Chairman of Organising Committee of 8th ECNDTDear Colleagues,
It seems like yesterday, but it has already beenover two years since the Board of Directors of theEuropean Federation for NDT (EFNDT) honoured our Society by giving us the responsibilityof organizing the 8 th European Conference inBarcelona in the year 2002.
This is a big challenge for our Society since thecapability and professionalism of the seven organizing societies and hosting cities (Mainz, Vienna,
Florence, London, Sarajevo, Nice and Copenhagen) that preceded us, raised the conference
standards to such a high level that meeting or evenexceeding these standards becomes a difficult task.
However, we are sure that we will successfully
achieve our goals with the efforts of the Organizing Committee and the other Committees (Scientific, Technical etc.) enhanced by your invaluable
help.
Up to now, we all have worked incessantly in thefirst stages of the conference organization. As weall know, these stages do not give short term results, but rather pave the way for future activities.
We hope to be able to count on your attendanceat this European event, the most important one in
the world of NDTs. This will be the first conference organised by the new-born European Federation for NDT, the first in the 21st Century and thefirst in the era of recently coined European Currency.
Suffice is to say that you will have precious memories from your stay in breathtaking and welcoming
Barcelona; its friendly people, splendid infrastructure and its enticing urban landscape bursting with
culture and heritage. As time goes by, your memories of Barcelona’s beauty will bring to mindthethscientific and technical contents of the 8 European Conference, enhancing them.

HUNGARY“ See you in Barcelona 2002“

The Board of Directors met in Berlin on May 13 and 14, 2000.
The meeting, chaired by the president in-charge bjarne Larsen,
was hosted by the German Society for NDT (DGZfP e V.) andtook place in Zeuthen close to Berlin. The Board of Directors
worked on numerous topics.
One of the most important topic (topics) under discussion was thequestion how to increase and optimise the flow of information
among the members of EFNDT
and other interested parties withrespect to new activities
withinEFNDT, important decisions of
the Board of Directors,theWorking Groups
and the General
Assembly. It was agreed that after each meeting a brief press release
will be drafted which will be published after approval by the Boardof Directors. Media for publication may be journals or news lettersof the members and the home page of EFNDT.
The current status and the follow-up actions of EFNDT with respect to the mutual recognition of personnel cerhlication withASNT and ASME was discussed extensively. The meetings withASNT which currently do not develop as expected or tto be honest, are totally lacking currently, will be continued. However, a higher priority will be given to direct discussions with ASME. The
General Directions of the European Commission DG III “Enterprise” which is responsible for the European Pressure Equipment
Directive will be invited to participate in future meetings.
A task force was established under EFNDT which is authorised toproceed with this topic. Members are Bjarne Larsen, Roger Roche,
John Thompson and Ulrich Kaps. Progress in this respect will berecorded under the EFNDT web page continuously.
Another important project of EFNDT is the establishment of theEuropean Cerfitication Programme ECP. This programme will not
replace standards dealing with NDT personnel certification which
are currently enacted. moreover, ECP will improve the quality of
examinations through the development of a harmonised catalogueof examination questions and the harmonised description of test
specimens to be used during examination sessions.
This programme which is under development within the EFNDT
member societies of France, United Kingdom and Germany will
be available by end of the year 2000. The conditions for participation will be published end of the year by the Board of Directors of
EFNDT. Finally, the Board of Directors agreed to become member of EUROLAB as observer and to accept EPERC as new associated member of EFNDT. Ireland was agreed to be a new full
member of EFNDT.
