NOTES

1. For NDE Level II certification, the experience shall consist of time at NDE level I
or equivalent. If a person is being qualified directly to NDE level II with no time
as NDE level I, the requirement experience shall consist of the sum of the times
required for NDE Level I and Level II, and the required training shall consist of
the sum of the hours required for NDE Level I & II.

2. Listed training hours may be adjusted as described in the written practice

depending on the candidates’ actual educational level e.g. graduate in technical
institute or engineering etc.

3. Initial experience may be gained simultaneously in two or more methods if:

a) The candidate spends a minimum of 25 % work time of each method for

which certification is sought, and,

b) The remainder of work time obtained as experience is spent in NDE related

activities defined in the present written practice.

4. Work time experience per level shall be required over the period in ½ to 3 times
the months shown and shall include a minimum of the hours shown in the
specific method for which certification is sought.
5. For Level II limited certifications in UT – Digital Thickness, 8 Hours Formal
Training & 40 Hours minimum work experience shall be recommended for
technicians, starting point of trainee.
6. For Level II limited certifications in Radiographic Film interpretation, 40 Hours
Formal Training & 220 Hours minimum work experience shall be recommended
for technicians, starting point of Non-Radiographer.
