Non Destructive Testing – NDT: Activities that can reassure the clients that their assets are in compliance
with all applicable standards, minimizing the risk to these assets and helping to maintain productivity.
These techniques can identify and assess defects and examine the properties of all kinds of materials and
structures without causing any damage.
The main NDT methods applied are ultrasonic inspection, magnetic particle inspection, liquid penetrant
testing, radiographic testing, remote visual inspection with drones and eddy current testing. These
techniques are used in civil, aeronautical and systems engineering. These are extremely useful techniques
that can lead to cost and time savings when applied to product evaluations, asset management and fault
identification and repair.
Inspection: Evaluation whether the products, processes and services of the clients comply with all relevant
standards, both regulatory and voluntary.
The objective is to guarantee that the clients fulfill their contractual obligations with the clients and
suppliers.
