21、tructiveExamination(NDE)personnel.ThewrittenpracticedocumentwouldhavebeenusedtosupportASMEqualificationandcertifica-tion efforts. After much discussion, it was determined that a Standard was more appropriate foraccomplishing the goals of the ASME Project Team. The Project Team was dissolved in May 2

22、012and merged into a Standards Writing Committee. The Standards Writing Committee is nowcalled the “ASME NDE (ANDE) Committee on Qualification and Certification of NondestructiveExamination Personnel and Quality Control Technicians” and, as used in this Standard, is refer-encedasthe“ANDECommittee.”T

23、heANDECommittee(consensusCommittee),withitssupport-ing Subcommittees, has the responsibility to write, maintain, and approve this Standard.This Standard has been written to provide the requirements for a “Central Qualification andCertificationProgram”conductedbyaThird-PartyCertificationOrganization(

24、CertificationBody)for NDE and Quality Control (QC) personnel and uses both performance-based and prescriptiverequirements that serve as the program core for these activities.This Standard has been written to meet the needs of many different industries such as theaerospace and defense industry, the a

25、utomotive industry, the construction and building industry,and the energy industry. The energy industry, which by itself directly relates to many differentspecific industry sectors (SISs), such as power plants, fossil power, renewable energy, arcticengineering and offshore technology, nuclear power,

26、 and energy efficiency, has within these SISsmany SIS activities that require NDE or QC to be performed by qualified and certified personnel.These SIS activities include manufacturing, fabrication, construction, installation, maintenance,preservice inspection, and inservice inspection. The use of pe

27、rformance-based requirements forqualification with a Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) process in this Standard, along withthe use of Job Task Analyses (JTAs) for the Qualification and Certification of NDE and QCpersonnel, makes it unique and supports a goal of enhancing personnel capabilities t

28、o performNDE and QC methods. These performance-based requirements are focused on training and trueperformance demonstration of the skills needed for personnel to perform specific job functionsthroughout initial Qualification and Certification and then during Certification periods.It is expected that

29、 with the use of this Standard, NDE and QC Inspection reliability andqualification performance will be improved and that a larger pool of personnel will becomeavailable to support any industry or SIS that either requires or chooses to use this Standard.This Edition of the Standard may be used beginn

30、ing with the date of issuance printed on thecopyright page. After such date of issuance, this Edition becomes the requirement for compliancewith this Standard, except for equipment or services contracted for prior to the end of the period.This Standard was approved as an American National Standard o
