Overview

This document specifies general rules for evaluating and expressing the reliability of non-destructive testing applications that can be used at various levels of accuracy and in many fields. These application areas focus on non-destructive testing methods used for quality control and assurance in component production, as well as for evaluating the condition and life cycle of components. This document is not applicable to sensor and inspection systems for structural health monitoring (SHM). This document does not provide detailed technology-specific instructions. This document is not applicable to discussions of how the outcome and uncertainty of a particular evaluation result can be used for various purposes, such as - to draw conclusions about the compatibility of that result with other similar results; - to set tolerance limits in a production process; - or to decide whether a particular procedure can be performed safely. This document has been prepared by Working Committee NA 062-11-03 AA "Qualifizierung von zerstörungsfreien Prüfverfahren" ("Qualification of non-destructive testing methods") at DIN Standards Committee Materials Testing.
