Activity Report

1. Publication of harmonized edition of ISO 9712

The publication of the harmonized edition of ISO 9712 Qualification and certification of

NDT personnel in June 2012 might be the most auspicious event of TC 135 during the

past two years since the last plenary meeting in Durban. We would like to express our

sincere gratitude to every person who involved in the long-felt whish, harmonization of

EN 473 and ISO 9712. Please refer to the chronological diagram of EN 473 and ISO

9712 below.

2. Adoption of ISO 9712:2012 by ASME

As a consequence of harmonization of EN 473 and ISO 9712, ASME approved the

use of ISO 9712 as follows:

(f) National or international central certification programs, such as the ASNT Central

Certification Program (ACCP) or ISO 9712:2012-based programs, may be

alternatively used to fulfill the training, experience, and examination requirements of

the documents listed in (e) as specified in the employer's written practice.

(ASME BPVC-V-2013, Article 1)

3. Question from ISO/TC 108/SC 5 about the scope of ISO 9712

Just before of the publication of ISO 9712:2012, ISO/TC 108/SC 5 Condition

monitoring and diagnostics of machine systems asked CEN/TC 138 and TC 135 if

NOTE 1 in the scope of ISO 9712 could be broadened to say that ISO 9712 is not

applicable to condition monitoring and diagnostics of machines.

In response, we referred to a previous correspondence in 2002 between the

Secretaries of TC 108/SC 5 and TC 135 at that time, concerning the scope of ISO

18436 series of standards, Requirements for qualification and assessment of

personnel. Consequently, TC 108/SC 5 agreed to keep the scope of ISO 9712

unchanged.

< Note1: Scope of ISO 9712:2012 >

This International Standard specifies requirements for principles for the qualification

and certification of personnel who perform industrial non-destructive testing (NDT).

NOTE 1 The term “industrial” implies the exclusion of applications in the field of

medicine.

- 13 -

< Note 2: Message from TC 108/SC 5 in 2002 >

We do not believe that there is a conflict here (between ISO 18436 and ISO 9712)

because the training programs envisioned under our 18436 series of standards would

be limited to the training of personnel in the application of certain techniques that

allow them to monitor and diagnose of condition of machines.

4. Reassignment of responsibility for ISO/TR 25107 and ISO/TR 25108

Responsibility for ISO/TR 25107 Guidelines for NDT training syllabuses and ISO/TR

25108 Guidelines for NDT personnel training organizations was reassigned to SC 7

Personnel qualification in July 2012. In consideration of the fact that the members of

TC 135/WG 3 Harmonization of personnel certification standards have relevant

expertise, it was also agreed that the WG 3 members should be invited to join the new

working group, WG 9 Revisions of training guidelines, in SC 7. Please refer to the

diagram below.

Please be advised that in 2002, prior to drafting TR 25107 and TR 25108, the CEN/TC

138 Chair at that time suggested and TC 135 agreed that the responsibility for these

training guidelines should be assigned directly to TC 135, as training syllabuses are

very close to each NDT method and should reflect opinions of each SC regarding the

relevant NDT method. Please refer to the chronological diagram of the training

guidelines below.

2003 2005 2006 2012

Throughout the twelve-year period, the TC chair, responsible for the TRs, monitored

the strengths and weaknesses of the training guidelines, to ensure their ongoing

improvements. Consequently, the TC Chair has actively participated in the work of

- 14 -

WG 9 as an expert from TC 135/WG 3 as well, and he has made a number of

proposals for the revisions of the training guidelines.

5. Participation in SC 9 meeting

The meeting of SC 9 Acoustic emission testing was held on the invitation of COTEQ

2013, in Porto de Galinhas in June 2013. The TC chair participated in the meeting on

behalf of TC 135. At the meeting, he emphasized the importance of collaboration

between TC 108/SC 5 and SC 9, as the technical scopes of both SCs include acoustic

emission testing in common.

6. Participation in SC 7/WG 9 meeting

The first meeting of SC 7/WG 9 Revisions of training guidelines was held on the

invitation of the 7th International Conference on NDT in Certification and

Standardization (CERTIFICATION 2013) in Zagreb in October 2013. The TC chair

participated in the meeting on behalf of TC 135. He also joined the discussion there as

an expert from WG 3.

7. Participation in CEN/TC 138 meetings

The meetings of CEN/TC 138 Non-destructive testing were held at AFNOR in

September 2013 and 2014, respectively. The TC chair and Secretary participated in

both meetings on behalf of TC 135. At each meeting, the TC chair made an activity

report of TC 135, and the Chair and Secretary exchanged opinions with the CEN

people for the collaboration of CEN/TC 138 and TC 135.

8. Visitation to Ukraine

In September 2013, the TC chair had an opportunity to visit Ukraine for his

international joint research on ultrasonic leak detection. Ukrainian Society for NDT

(USNDT) kindly invited him to participate in the workshop for Advanced NDT methods

and their applicability during his stay in Kiev. At the workshop, the TC chair gave a

- 15 -

lecture on harmonization of certification standards and NDT personnel certification in

Japan.

9. Participation in CERTIFICATION 2013

The Chairs of CEN/TC 138 and TC 135 were invited to participate in CERTIFICATION

2013 in Zagreb in October 2013. Mr. Fallouey gave a lecture titled "EN ISO –

Successful merging; What's after?" Prof. Hatano lectured on the activities of TC 135.

They were present as well at the signing ceremony of the EFNDT and ICNDT MRA

(Multilateral Recognition Agreement).

10. Systematic review of TS 18173

A CIB was conducted on the systematic review of ISO/TS 18173 General terms and

Definitions, with the voting period from April to September 2013. However,

abstentions numbered as many as 15, while the P-Members vote was 5 for

confirmation and 6 for revision or amendment. Consequently, we had difficulty in

reaching a secretariat interpretation of the voting results.

In consideration of the very high abstention rate in the vote, as well as the

- 16 -

recommendation of CEN/TC 138 concerning the voting results, we drafted the

following secretariat interpretation, and a second CIB was conducted based on this

interpretation:

ISO/TS 18173 should be confirmed this time, provided that every effort be made,

toward mutual harmonization of EN 1330-2 and ISO/TS 18173, during the period

leading up to the next systematic review

As a consequence of the second CIB, this secretariat interpretation was approved in

April 2014. Please be advised that we would prefer mutual harmonization with due

regard to EN 1330-2, ISO/TS 18173, and relevant de facto international standard(s),

such as ASTM E1316 Standard terminology for nondestructive examinations. We

would very much appreciate it, if a document that could be referenced by everybody

involved in non-destructive testing, and not just by CEN or ISO people, could be

developed for General terms and definitions.

11. CASCO lecture on ISO/IEC 17024

The latest revised edition of ISO/IEC 17024 General

requirements for bodies operating certification of persons

was published just a half month after the publication of the

harmonized edition of ISO 9712. As ISO/IEC 17024 is only

one document, which ISO 9712 includes in its normative

references, ISO/IEC 17024 is indispensable for the

application of ISO 9712.

As you may be aware, in order to avoid complicating the

revision work for harmonization of EN 473 and ISO 9712, we

did not consider any possible inconsistencies, which might

result from the future revisions of ISO/IEC 17024.

Consequently, we are concerned about the influence of this

revision of ISO/IEC 17024 on the application of ISO 9712. In

consideration of this situation, a lecture by CASCO, on the

2012 revision of ISO/IEC 17024, was planned for the Prague

meetings of ISO/TC 135.

(Respectfully prepared by Hajime Hatano.)
