This standard specifies the minimum requirements for the qualification and certification of personnel engaged in non-destructive testing (NDT) in the civil aircraft manufacturing, operation, maintenance and overhaul industries. This standard applies to the use of liquid penetrant testing (PT), magnetic particle testing (MT), eddy current testing (ET), ultrasonic testing (UT), radiographic testing (RT), infrared thermal imaging testing (IRT) and vis al testing (VT) ) NDT method testing or acceptance of materials, products, parts, components and sub-assemblies; also applies to personnel directly responsible for NDT technology, NDT technology external auditors and NDT technology training personnel. This standard does not apply to NDT managers other than those lis ed above, nor to researchers engaged in the development of NDT technology, even if the technology they develop is subsequently approved for use by certified Level 3 personnel. This standard also applies to the qualification and certification of personnel using other non-destructive testing methods. These methods include but are not limited to: acoustic emis ion detection, neutron ray irradiation detection, leakage detection, holographic detection or mis ligned speckle interference detection, etc. The training, experience and examination requirements for these methods may be formulated by the Civil Aviation Nondestructive Testing Personnel Qualification and Certification Committee or an authorized engineering organization based on this standard. Personnel using a direct-reading instrument to perform specific tests are not required to be identified and certified according to this standard.
