摘要

NDT is growing very fast and encompassing the complete industrial sector. New and newer techniques are developed and techniques, machines and procedures strive for the most reliable results. Of course, in any NDT, the meaningful NDT results can only be obtained if there are: 1) Calibrated machines 2) Correct procedures 3) Qualified manpower. In absence of any single element of the above three, NDT becomes meaningless. This paper deals with personnel qualifications in NDT and focuses on the importance of NDT Examiners in NDT Exam system. In any exam system the appropriately designed exam system and efficient implementation of the system will give the correct results. In the present international scenario, the effective system generation is in progress everywhere. However to implement the system effectively we should have a strong force of NDT Examiners knowledgeable, capable and demanding. The word demanding is very important here. Unless, one demands the improvement does not come automatically. (All Quality Control professionals will agree with this.) This paper is giving the overall perspective of an NDT examiner 's role in this exam system. It also deals with prerequisites of a good examiner and duties and responsibilities of the examiner with Do and Don'ts for the role.
