This specification establishes the minimum requirements for training and approval of personnel carrying out
any non-destructive testing (NDT) for the inspection of gas turbine materials and components for, or on
behalf of, Rolls-Royce.
General Requirement:
Rolls-Royce and each of its suppliers approved to perform NDT processes shall establish a detailed procedure
(written practice) for qualifying, approving, and re-approving their NDT personnel in accordance with the
requirements of EN 4179 or NAS 410.
The written practice for each supplier shall be mandated through its quality management system and
authorised by the Responsible Level 3.
a) Suppliers holding Nadcap NDT accreditation are not required to submit their written practice to Rolls-
Royce for approval.

written practice after approval. In countries where a National Aerospace NDT Board (NANDTB) exists, and
operations do not fall under a foreign board jurisdiction, NDT qualification examinations must be under
the control of that NANDTB.

Records of training, qualification and approval of NDT personnel shall be complete, accurate and available for
review. These records shall as minimum comply with the requirements specified in EN 4179 and/or NAS 410.
