Notes:
- Work experience in months is based on a nominal 40 h/week (175 h/month) or the legal week of work. Any individual working in excess of 40 h/week may be credited with experience based on the total hours, but they shall be required to produce documentary evidence of this experience.
- For Level 2 certification, work experience consists of NDT work time as an individual certified to Level 1. If the individual is being qualified directly to Level 2 with no time at Level 1, the experience shall consist of the sum of the times required for Level 1 and Level 2.
Level 3 - Level 3 responsibilities require knowledge beyond the technical scope of any specific NDT method. This broad knowledge may be acquired through various combinations of education, training and experience that must be documented and provided to the certification body.
