1 INTRODUCTION
1.2 These technical notes shall be studied in conjunction with the requirement in
standard SNI ISO/IEC 17020:2012 Conformity assessment - Requirements for
the operation of various types of bodies performing inspection.
1.3 NOT inspections are carried out by inspection bodies at manufacturer's premises
or at the customer sites.
1.4 Inspection body performing NOT that accredited under SNI ISO/IEC 17020:2012,
may perform and report on the following activities:
1.5 This technical note document covers the inspection of equipment materials,
components and assemblies in sector such as gas petroleum and chemical,
power generation, building and construction, aerospace, automotive and other by
means of the following techniques using the following NOT methods:
a) Radiographic testing
b) Liquid or dye penetrant testing
c) Ultrasonic testing
d) Magnetic particle testing
e) Eddy current testing
f) Leak testing
g) Other NOT methods
2 SCOPE OF ACCREDITATION
2.1 The scope of accreditation is the formal statement of the range of activities
for which the inspection body has been accredited.
2.3 The scope should be defined as precisely as possible so that all parties
concerned know accurately and unambiguously the range of inspection
methods and type of products covered by the inspection bodies
accreditation.

2.5 The validation of methods should not be taken for granted and the
inspection bodies shall satisfy itself that the degree of validation of a
particular technique is adequate for its purpose.
3.1 The inspection body management should ensure the integrity of inspector
involved in NOT inspection work and that inspector is free from all
pressures, wh ich might affect their impartiality and affect their judgment.
3.4 Signatory approval for KAN endorsed inspection certificates shall have
minimum experience in non-destructive testing techniques not less than 5
years and approval by KAN based on recommendation of KAN lead
assessor.
3.6 Inspector shall have sound knowledge of and experience in the use of,
applicable non-destructive testing techniques, knowledge of relevant
materials, manufacturing processes and service conditions, experience and
ability to interpret and evaluate test data, ability to prepare routine and
critical reports, ability to control quality of performance of non-destructive
tests, adequate training and experience in non-destructive testing.
3.7 For KAN approved signatories, they shall be those independently certified
issued by a recogn ized certification bodies in Non-Destructive Testing
(Personnel Certification NOT Level 3).
3.8 The Inspector responsible for NOT should hold appropriate qualifications.
3.9 The inspection body is required to demonstrate that inspector of NOT used
for examination have the knowledge and experience in the type of defects,
which may occur during manufacture examined.

4.2 Records should clearly identify whether staff can interpret the results in
addition to carrying out examinations.
4.3 Where inspectors are contracted the Inspection body shall ensure that such
personnel are competent, carry appropriate personnel certification, are
effectively supervised and that they work in accordance with the Inspection
bodies quality system using company equipment and procedures.
4.4 The inspection body shall check that the qualification and certification of
NOT personnel is appropriate to the inspection to be carried out. This
should include checking any limitations in the scope of competence
certified and the resu lting need for job specific training and authorization.
4.5 Inspection body are responsible for ensuring that inspector have all the
other relevant competencies, e.g. safety training, necessary for the
performance of their duties.
4.6 The quality system should describe the general and specific arrangements
for the conduct of all accredited activities including non-destructive testing
and should specifically incorporate:

5.3.1 Ultrasonic test sets shall be verified daily or each time the
equipment is used including: Visual checks for damage, linearity of
time base, calibration of time base linearity of equipment gain.
5.3.9 Where calibration blocks made from the material of the product
under test are used for setting up, the final test report should
indicate the calibration status of the test blocks. In all such cases
the transmission velocity of the pulse through the block material
should be measured and recorded , unless the inspection body has
alternative methods to demonstrate the traceability of the block.
5.4.1 Standard flaw test pieces should be used to check the process.
The use of test pieces is not normally specified for portable test
kits.
6of10
5.4.4 UV (A) light meters and white light meters shall be calibrated at
defined intervals.
5.5.3 When using fluorescent inks and powders, the intensity of UV(A)
light at the test surface shall be checked as frequently as necessary
to monitor possible deterioration of the illumination. These checks
require the use of a UV(A) light meter. The ambient white light level
shall be checked at least once every three months where
illumination is controlled on a long-term basis, and should be
checked each time the equipment is used in situations where
illumination may vary from test to test (egg in daylight conditions).
These checks require the use of a white light meter.
7of10
5.5.4 UV(A) light meters and White light meters shall be calibrated at
defined intervals.
5.5.8 Tests to check the sensitivity of the indications looked for should be
carried out using suitable test pieces.
5.6.2 The dimensions of holes and the thickness of the calibration piece
shall be certified by the manufacturer or established in-house by
means, which are traceable to national or international standards.
5.6.6 List of all reference blocks, control specimens, reference pieces and
calibration blocks should be kept with details of the main
characteristics: (e.g. material, conductivity, manufacture, heat
treatment).

6 INSPECTION METHODS/PROCEDURES
Inspection procedures should contain, or refer to, other documents containing the
following, and supplemented by any further information necessary to fully specify
the examination:
a) title, unique reference number, issue or revision status and date of issue;
b) unique identification of Inspection body producing the procedure;
c) on each page, the page number, the total number of pages in the
procedure and the unique reference number;
d) preparation and approval signature, such that the author and the approval
authority can be readily identified;
e) scope of the procedure, giving precise description of the range of
applicability (e.g. range of diameters and thickness);
f) reference test procedure (contractual) and/or European or national
standard specifications on which the procedure is based and its
issue/revision status; work instructions should reference the controlling
procedure;
g) terms and definitions used within the procedure and/or reference to a
document defining such terms;
h) equipment to be utilized, including consumables, complying with relevant
specification requirements;
i) calibration/verification and maintenance requirements, or reference to
procedures controlling these activities;
j) personnel qualifications or certification needed for performance of test
work/evaluation of results, complying with any specification requirements;
k) surface condition required prior to commencing test;
I) requirements for identification of test items (by reference to a general test
procedure if applicable);
