EN 4179\u00a0has recently been revised to prEN 4179: 2014 (in Italy UNI EN 4179:2017, available for purchase from UNI Ente Italiano di Normazione) in order\u00a0to achieve technical harmonisation with\u00a0AIA-NAS-410: Rev. 4,\u00a0which\u00a0describes a National Aerospace NDT Board as:<\/p>\n<div>\u201cAn independent national aerospace organization, representing a nation\u2019s aerospace industry, that is chartered by the participating prime contractors and recognized by the nation\u2019s regulatory agencies to provide or support NDT qualification and\/or examination services in accordance with Clause 4.4.2 of the standard.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>Clause 4.4.2 states \u2026<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cThe organization has a constitution, a deciding entity, and governed according to administrative and working procedures.\u00a0 The voting members in the deciding entity are NDT Level 3 personnel and are from participating prime contractors or type certificate holders as a minimum.\u00a0 Other members may be co-opted as voting or non-voting members as necessary to support the NANDTB.\u00a0 Regulatory agencies for civilian and\/or defense have the right to be included as observer members.<\/p>\n<p>The Responsible Level 3 may use an NANDTB to:<br \/>\n\u2022 Develop training course outlines and training material<br \/>\n\u2022 Create examination questions and administer examinations<br \/>\n\u2022 Approve outside and\/or internal organizations providing training and\/or examination services<br \/>\n\u2022 Define requirements for qualification of NDT personnel in emerging NDT methods<br \/>\n\u2022 Retain written and practical examinations<br \/>\n\u2022 Designate Examiners and\/or instructors at outside or internal organizations providing training and examination services.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Where an NANDTB is used to provide such services, it shall develop processes and procedures that shall ensure full compliance with the requirements of this standard.\u00a0 The activities, processes, procedures, technique catalogs, etc. undertaken\/developed by an NANDTB shall be made available for review by prime contractors and regulatory agencies.\u00a0 For countries where no NANDTB exists, the services of other NANDTB\u2019s may be used, but are not required to do so, unless specified by local or regulatory requirements&#8221;.<\/p>\n<div>The above\u00a0effectively mandates the widespread establishment of NANDTBs, and it is recognized that, without some form of harmonizing influence, the various NANDTBs would address the above requirements in diverse ways. Therefore, an open meeting of interested parties was held during the 9th European Conference on NDT in Berlin on 29th September 2006. Following a round table discussion of the pertinent issues, this meeting, which was attended by 31 interested parties, unanimously agreed to establish a European Forum for NANDTB under the umbrella of the European Federation for NDT. This part of the EFNDT website will be an \u2018open window\u2019 on the work of the Forum, and will include all published documents, including minutes of meetings.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.efndt.org\/Organisation\/Forums\/Forum-on-Aerospace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> to visit the European Forum for National Aerospace NDT Board&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Aerospace NDT Boards (NANDTB) have been formed in many countries around the world, but mainly in Europe, as a direct result of European Aerospace Safety Agency (EASA) regulation part &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":9694,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.unavia.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9771"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.unavia.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.unavia.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.unavia.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.unavia.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9771"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.unavia.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9771\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.unavia.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9694"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.unavia.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
