BQCIS

Building Technical Excellence in NDT Qualification

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is a cornerstone of industrial safety and quality assurance. The accuracy of inspection results depends on the competency and integrity of the personnel who perform them. BQCIS delivers globally recognized NDT personnel certification services under ISO 9712, ASNT SNT-TC-1A, NAS-410, and EN 4179, validating the theoretical knowledge and hands-on proficiency of inspectors at all qualification levels (Level I, II, and III).

Our programs are developed in alignment with international bodies, training centers, and sector-specific codes (ASME, API, AWS, ISO). Certification assessments combine written and practical examinations using representative test specimens and calibrated equipment for key techniques including Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Radiographic Testing (RT), Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT), Eddy Current Testing (ET), and Visual Testing (VT).

BQCIS’s accredited assessors review the candidate’s technical background, documented experience, and training records prior to evaluation. Examinations are conducted under controlled conditions — ensuring impartiality, reproducibility, and full traceability of all results. Successful candidates receive BQCIS certificates with embedded QR codes linking to verifiable digital credentials.

Certification through BQCIS reinforces global mobility for NDT personnel, strengthens organizational competence management systems, and ensures compliance with national and international regulatory frameworks — providing stakeholders with confidence in inspection reliability and safety assurance.

Key Activities in NDT Personnel Certification

Training Program Validation

Verification of NDT training institutions and course content for compliance with ISO 9712 and SNT-TC-1A requirements.

Candidate Qualification Review

Assessment of candidate experience records, eye-vision testing, and previous certification history prior to examination.

Written Knowledge Examinations

Standardized general, specific, and practical tests covering relevant methods, codes, and acceptance criteria.

Practical Demonstrations

Hands-on testing using actual components to assess detection, interpretation, and reporting capabilities.

Examination Supervision & Control

All assessments conducted under accredited examiner supervision following strict procedural integrity protocols.

Certification & Documentation

Issuance of digital and physical certificates, logbooks, and ID cards with traceable verification via QR code.

Renewal & Recertification Management

Monitoring of validity periods and managing renewal assessments according to ISO 9712 periodicity cycles.

Level III Authorization Programs

Advanced qualification for NDT Level III personnel in method administration, code interpretation, and training oversight.

Employer-Based Certification

Support for companies developing in-house NDT certification programs based on SNT-TC-1A or NAS-410 frameworks.

Key Benefits of NDT Personnel Certification

Enhanced Inspection Credibility

Demonstrates technical competence and impartiality of NDT professionals performing critical safety inspections.

Global Recognition

Ensures acceptance of NDT personnel credentials across borders under ISO 9712 and SNT-TC-1A frameworks.

Improved Inspection Reliability

Reduces false calls and enhances defect detection accuracy through verified technical skills and experience.

Regulatory Compliance

Supports conformance to oil & gas, aerospace, and construction regulatory codes requiring certified inspectors.

Case Study

ISO 9712 NDT Certification for Pressure Vessel Fabrication Yard

The Challenge:

A fabrication yard producing high-pressure vessels required immediate third-party verification of 22 NDT technicians across multiple methods to meet client audit requirements.

Our Solution:

BQCIS deployed accredited examiners to conduct Level II examinations for RT, MT, and PT techniques on actual production welds. Assessments included blind defect identification and interpretation accuracy verification per ISO 9712.

The Result:

All personnel achieved certification within 15 days, enabling uninterrupted production continuity and successful audit clearance by an international EPC client.
