ANSI/ASNT CP-106:2018

The ANSI/ASNT CP-106, Nondestructive Testing – Qualification and Certification of Personnel, document is a modified adoption of ISO 9712, Nondestructive testing – Qualification and certification of personnel, with modifications made in accordance with ISO/IEC Guide 21, Adoption of International Standards as regional or national standards. The document is formatted in the style of ISO 9712, and the rationale for each national modification is located in an outlined text box titled “national explanatory note” directly after the clause, figure, or table that was modified. Prepared by ASNT, this document was approved by the ASNT Standards Development Committee, a consensus body organized in accordance with the requirements of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for Standards Developing Organizations. The purpose of developing this document was to provide the United States with an American National Standard that would incorporate the provisions of ISO 9712 while recognizing the current national preferences for certification on nondestructive testing personnel. The 2018 edition features content updates throughout, including three new appendices, on Structured credit system for Level III recertification, Grading practical examination, and Engineering of NDT.
