12、EN/TR14748:2004/NECTR :84741( 4002E) 3 Foreword This document (CEN/TR 14748:2004) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 138 “Non-destructive testing”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. PDCEN/TR14748:2004/NECTR :84741( 4002E) 4 Introduction Nondestructive tests (NDT) are typically
13、one of a great number of activities within the quality assurance at manufacture or during maintenance of industrial products, where the objective is to ensure a defined or agreed product quality. This is especially the case if the non-destructive tests are carried out according to standards or other
14、 accepted technical codes. Qualification of a non-destructive test may be necessary in the case of non standardised NDT or if the NDT does not fully comply with the appropriate standard to ensure a defined or agreed product-quality. The objective of qualification is to provide confidence in the non-
15、destructive test itself and also in its continued performance. Non- destructive tests, however, will not in themselves provide statements on product safety or on the lifetime of a product. Qualification should also be considered when there are reasons to provide additional assurance that the NDT can
16、 meet the inspection requirements. PDCEN/TR14748:2004/NECTR :84741( 4002E) 5 1 Scope This document sets out basic principles and provides recommendations and general guidelines for carrying out qualification of non-destructive tests. The document deals with methods for qualifying non-destructive tes
17、ts to determine whether they are capable of attaining their objectives. It applies to all aspects of tests which influence their effectiveness. The parties involved decide in their own responsibility on the need for a qualification of a non-destructive test. This includes identification of the quali
18、fication-team and its technical competence. There may be a need for qualification when there is a deviation from a European NDT Standard, or when new techniques or methods are to be implemented for which there are no European Standards. Where there is a European NDT Standard which applies, there is
19、no need for qualification. Table 1 summarises when qualification is required. PDCEN/TR14748:2004/NECTR :84741( 4002E) 6 Table 1 Need for qualification A European Standard (EN) exists and applies There is a deviationfrom EN New technique New method No qualification Qualification dealing with the devi
20、ation effect Qualification This document is relevant to any non-destructive testing method and is therefore written in general terms, setting out the principles that apply. It does not, in itself, constitute a specification for NDT qualification for a specific component but is intended to be used as
21、 a basis for development of such specifications. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including an
22、y amendments) applies. EN 473, Non-destructive testing - Qualification and certification of NDT personnel - General principles 3 Terms and definitions For the purpose of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 blind trial trial in which those applying the non-destructive test t
23、o test pieces have no knowledge of the position of the discontinuities in those test pieces (Type and orientation according to the NDT procedure) 3.2 essential parameters parameters of the non-destructive tests, of the component and of the discontinuities that the test is intended to detect or to si
24、ze, which significantly affect the outcome of the test; the boundaries between which these parameters can vary without significantly affecting the test are specified in the technical justification and/or NDT procedure as appropriate 3.3 NDT equipment means by which NDT is implemented. This includes
25、both hardware and software 3.4 NDT method discipline applying a physical principle in non-destructive testing (for example: eddy current test method) 3.5 NDT procedure written description of how to apply a NDT technique to a specific test, including all essential parameters and precautions to be obs
26、erved. An NDT procedure can involve the application of more than one NDT method or technique PDCEN/TR14748:2004/NECTR :84741( 4002E) 7 3.6 NDT qualification confirmation by examination and/or provision of objective evidence that the particular requirements for a specific use of NDT are fulfilled.

28、rasonic testing it may include, for example, pulse echo, tandem, TOFD, focused probes and so on, or the combination of these which has been adopted. 3.9 open trial trial in which those applying the non-destructive test to test pieces have specific knowledge of the discontinuities in those test piece
29、s 3.10 parties involved parties involved are usually producer, supplier and/or purchaser who take responsibility for an industrial product during manufacturing and/or service. In some cases, it may also include manufacturer, user, design department, regulatory body, notified body, and/or third party

33、erson(s) that plan, conduct and accept NDT qualification, who are technically competent and acceptable to the parties involved. The need for the qualification team to be separate from the parties involved is a matter to be agreed by those involved PDCEN/TR14748:2004/NECTR :84741( 4002E) 8 3.18 techn
34、ical justification collection of all the information which provides evidence about the capability of an NDT technique as applied to a specific component NOTE: It may include, for example, physical reasoning, mathematical modelling, results from test piece trials, field NDT results or experimental st
35、udies as appropriate. 3.19 test piece example or a simulation of the component for which the non-destructive test is to be qualified which will, as appropriate, replicate size, geometry, material properties and defective condition(s) to be encountered on site. 4 General principles Qualification of a
36、 non-destructive test may require assessment of an NDT system, composed of any combination of NDT procedure, equipment and specific training of personnel. This qualification consists of one of the following items: a) practical assessment (blind or open trial) conducted on the component or simplified
37、 or representative test pieces resembling the component to be inspected; b) technical justification, which involves assembling all evidence on the effectiveness of the test including previous experience of its application, experimental studies, mathematical modelling, physical reasoning etc; c) appr
38、opriate mix of practical assessment and technical justification. The appropriate mix of the above sources of evidence has to be judged separately for each particular case. The use of technical justification should reduce practical assessment exercises. In some cases, it may be possible to qualify ND
39、T without any practical trials. Further information on the concepts of practical assessment and technical justification is given in Annex A. 5 Qualification phases, steps and responsibilities The qualification phases, steps and responsibilities, which may be taken to qualify NDT, are shown in Table
40、2. The table also gives a reference to the relevant subclauses of this document that deal in more detail with each of the steps. Within each of the five qualification phases, Table 2 does not necessarily indicate the order in which the steps are taken. PDCEN/TR14748:2004/NECTR :84741( 4002E) 9 Table
