Code: IWI-B; IWI-S; IWI-C

Based on: ASME Code IX, AWS D1.1, EN ISO 3834, ISO 14731

The welding inspector is a person responsible (see ISO 14731) for testing and proving goods, devices and

processes and he/she is able to do assessment with the codes and rules in the whole production process

where welding is used.

The “IWIP” qualification is managed by IIW IAB (International Authorization Board). Training and

examinations are provided in approved places, all services correspond to the requirements of managing

directive for welding inspectors.

The training is provided in 2 steps: WT (technology) and WI (inspection). After WT part must applicants

pass the intermediate exam; after WI part the final exam as well.

The directive IAB-041-2001/EWF-450-02 accepts the direct access too without the WT part attendance.

The participant must be certified by comparable or higher qualification in personnel supervising (having a

diploma like IWP, IWS, IWT, IWE) or have to pass the intermediate exam from the WT part. In case that this

differential exam hasn't been passed, completing the WT part is a must.

The course is designed for individuals who want to get basic knowledge about NDT. Our trainings cover

personnel qualification and certification programs, general applications of various NDT methods (RT, UT,

MT, VT, ET, LT, PT), materials and processes for NDT.

As the Level III NDT specialist you will be highly responsible for all company's processes like: developing,

qualifying and approving procedures, establishing and approving techniques, interpreting codes,

standards, specifications and procedures; and designating the particular NDT methods, techniques and

procedures to be used.

To obtain the Level 3 certification all applicants must declare former training and practice experience,

according to the ASNT SNT-TC-1A code. Level III qualification is composed of BASIC qualification and

method qualification. It means before qualification in special method the trainee shall be qualified in

BASIC.

Alternatively we can provide this training course based on

EN 473/ISO 9712 or on EN 4179/NAS 410 as well. The requested number of hours for EN/ISO

certification is higher and therefore the duration shall be increased according to the request of the specific

standard.

Level 1: Code: MT L1



Based on: ASTM-E-709, ASTM-E-1444, US (ASTM E 709, E 1444, MIL STD-1949A, MIL I 6868A,

ASME Code V.7, MIL STD 271 F, spec. P3TF48, ..) and set of EN standards: EN ISO

3059; EN 1369; EN 10228-1, EN 1290, EN 1291, EN ISO 9934-1,2,3, ...

Our MT courses prepare NDT workers for the goods and material testing according to ASNT SNT-TC-1A

and EN 473 standard too. This method is used for detection of surface or subsurface defects. It is a quick

and reliable technique for detection and location of surface cracks. This method is used to test welds,

castings, and forgings, however it can only be used on ferromagnetic materials.

In addition to MT Level 1 are the participants trained in:

MT2 courses are prepared for specialists responsible to test

and assess all findings using magnetic particle testing. Part

“General course” is required for all participants without former

completed knowledge of MT and in case of direct approach it

is a must.

The course is based on: ASNT SNT-TC-1A. Alternatively we

can provide this training course based on EN 473/ISO 9712

or on EN 4179/NAS 410 as well.

This method involves applying a visible or fluorescent liquid to the surface. The penetrant testing can be

applied to any non-absorbent material with uncoated surfaces. The practice part of the training are carried

out at our PT lines where colored and fluorescent penetrants, different kinds of developers and facilities

are demonstrated.

In addition to Level 1 this course contains information and practices for NDT workers responsible for

preparing written practices, testing and evaluating of all PT results and material discontinues. Special

colored or fluorescent penetrants are used for the evaluation. This departmental course is obligatory

supplemented by practical testing. These courses are used mainly for attendants without former

experiences in penetrant testing and are obligatory for all who want to obtain Level 2 certificate in direct

access.

testing provides a permanent record and a high sensitivity of testing. RT L1 courses prepare applicants for

NDT (non-destructive testing) according to ASNT SNT-TC-1A or EN 473 code, for product testing using

radiographic testing method. Departmental courses are supplemented with optional practice testing where

you can learn how to create X-ray pictures of approved samples, which are required at the qualification

exams later.

In addition to the RT L1 this course includes interpretation of the radiographs and the techniques used to

create the radiographs. In direct approach to Level 2 is necessary to complete both levels = 3 weeks

duration. For the applicant having the RT1 L1 course is the general qualification course (1 week) optional.

This is the preparation training for the RI - Radiographic Interpreter qualification. This training course is

oriented in evaluation of welded joints. The qualification of radiographic interpreters requires

experience, knowledge, and skills unique to the interpretation of radiographic media and the

determination of acceptance criteria for weldments and adjacent base metal.

The purpose of radiographic interpretation is to properly assess indications produced on radiographic

media during the process of weldment or adjacent base metal evaluation. The Radiographic Interpreter

must be thoroughly familiar with the process of radiography as well as the welding processes.

Each candidate for the final qualification as a RI shall meet the minimum requirements for:

- Education Requirements (to be qualified as a Radiographic Interpreter, each individual shall hold

a valid high school diploma, or General Equivalency Diploma (GED)

- Training Requirements (shall have a minimum of 40 hours of organized training in radiographic

interpretation/examination. The training should include the topics contained in Section 9, Body

of Knowledge)

- Experience Requirements - shall have

a minimum of one-year experience as a company

or nationally certified individual in radiographic

interpretation of media or under the direct

supervision of such an individual. A maximum of

six months experience may be substituted by one

or a combination - as it isdescribed in the AWS

applicable in wide scale of branches, very often used for inspections of metallurgic semiproducts during the

in-service inspections of pipe type heat exchangers and in the aerospace and automotive industry. This

method is widely used for surface discontinuities detection. The discontinuities can be detected to specific

depth under surface. This method allows measuring thickness of nonconductive coating or selecting the

different materials on the base of the difference in the chemical composition or heat treatment.

Our courses will prepare you to pass the final exam according to your qualificitaion standard in Level 1, 2 or

3, to be able operate manually or on automatic lines typical eddy current testing.
