be called “ASNT training.” Courses by providers other than ASNT may not use the term “ASNT training.” Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A contains guide- lines for the amount of training hours required for each method, technique, and level of certification. Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A also states that the recommended training course outlines are found in ANSI/ASNT CP-105: ASNT Standard Topical Outlines for Qualification of Nondestructive Testing Personnel. For this reason, training providers should state the training meets the requirements of Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A and ANSI/ASNT CP-105. Training providers may advertise that their training is “in accordance with Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A and ANSI/ASNT CP-105” but may not advertise it as “ASNT training.” In summary, to ensure proper usage of NDT terminology, ASNT would like to remind readers that the following terms should be used when referring to the certification status of NDT personnel: Personnel qualified and certified to their employer’s written practice should be listed as being “certified in accordance with Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A,” provided the employer’s written prac- tice meets the requirements of Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A. In addition, employer- certified Level IIIs may be called “Level IIIs” or “NDT Level IIIs.” Personnel certified by ASNT exam- ination may be referred to as being “ASNT certified” and may be called by the proper name, “ASNT NDT Level III.” Personnel certified through ACCP may be said to be “ASNT certified” or, more properly, to have been certified as an “ACCP Level II” or “ACCP Professional Level III.” Adherence to these simple distinctions will reduce confusion in the industry.
