Qualifications and Certification of Nondestructive Testing Personnel 
A handbook used in conjunction with previously 
published handbooks on nondestructive testing 
(NDT) methods should prove valuable in establish-
ing training standards for NDT personnel. The 
handbook outlines requirements for personnel 
qualifications and certification, and describes pro-
cedures for establishing and controlling the careful 
selection of applicants for NDT positions. Included 
are criteria for each of the following test methods: 
radiation, ultrasonics, eddy current, liquid penetrant,

• and magnetic particle. Each subject category is 
thoroughly defined and substructured for easy learn-
ing, and the scope of each category extends from 
theory to detailed operation and care of specific 
equipment. 
Adherence to the standards set forth in this 
handbook should result in a reliable program for 
selecting and training NDT personnel.
