Personnel Certification NDT
TÜV NORD operates a certification body for personnel of non-destructive testing, which is accredited according to ISO/IEC 17024. Our certification body offers the possibility to certificate your staff according to DIN EN ISO 9712. For personnel that implements non-destructive testing on permanent joints of pressure vessels, the certification is an approval according to the European Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU. We offer certifications for various testing methods, industries, and product sectors.
The DIN EN ISO 9712:2022 was published in September 2022. From this date onwards, renewal of certification after 5 years will only be possible by taking a simplified practical examination or by providing individual evidence (structural credit system).
Our certification passes mean you can show the procedures for which you are certified quickly and easily. The most important procedures, the relevant levels within them and their validity dates are summarised on the reverse of the pass, and the integrated QR Code means that the data on the pass can be verified online at any time. Although the pass does not replace the certificate itself, it makes day-to-day work easier, as you no longer have to take your actual certificates with you to show the areas for which you are certified.
