ISO 9712 NDT exams

As a result of the recent industry forum meeting on the 29th August the NZNDTA were asked to seek out alternative ISO 9712 / 17024 NDT certification schemes to continue providing these services to NZ.

Industry desired to have continued access to an internationally recognized NDT certification given that CBIP would not be able to provide ISO 9712 certified exams in November.

The NZNDTA can now advise that we have been able to secure continued access to the AINDT ISO 9712 / 17024 NDT certification scheme for the advertised November round of NDT exams.

Applications for this exam round close on 6th October. Please refer to the NZNDTA examcoordinator function page on this web site for more details how to apply.
