The ITANDTB (ITalian Aerospace Non Destructive Testing Board) is recognized by ENAC (Italian Civil Aviation Authority) as the Italian equivalent of the “National Aerospace NDT Board” defined by the UNI EN 4179 Standard.
ITANDTB is the Italian Committee providing qualification services for personnel involved in Non-Destructive Testing in the aerospace sector, as well as approval and renewal services for Training and Examination Centers, in accordance with the above-mentioned Standard.
Since March 27, 2025, ITANDTB has also been recognized by the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority (HCAA), following the signing of a specific cooperation agreement appointing the Committee as the reference body for the provision and support of NDT qualification services in compliance with the European Standard EN 4179.
The agreement establishes that ITANDTB will act as the reference organization for HCAA-approved organizations and for NDT personnel operating in Greece, ensuring qualification processes fully compliant with European aerospace industry standards.
The mission and organizational structure of the Committee are shared by the leading Italian aerospace companies: Atitech, Baykar Piaggio Aerospace, GE Avio, Leonardo Aeronautics Division, Leonardo Helicopters, Microtecnica and Thales Alenia Space Italia.
