EVS-EN 473:2008

This European Standard establishes principles for the qualification and certification of personnel who perform industrial non-destructive testing (NDT). The term ‘industrial’ implies the exclusion of applications in the field of medicine. The system described in this European Standard can also apply to other NDT methods, or to new techniques within an established NDT method, provided a comprehensive scheme of certification exists and the method or technique is covered by European, international or national standards, or the new NDT method or technique has been demonstrated as effective through a formal qualification carried out in accordance with CEN/TR 14748.
