NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) Level 3 Basic is a certification level that qualifies an individual to oversee and manage NDT operations. It covers foundational knowledge across multiple NDT methods and includes responsibilities such as:
- Developing and approving NDT procedures
- Interpreting codes, standards, and specifications
- Training and certifying Level 1 and 2 personnel
- Conducting audits and ensuring compliance with quality standards
The “Basic” part refers to the general knowledge exam that covers materials science, NDT method principles, and quality assurance, which is required before taking method-specific Level 3 exams (e.g., UT, RT, MT)
