Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to research, analyse, develop, approve and evaluate applicable non-destructive tests (NDT) on fabrications, structures and components across a wide range of industries to Level 3 (AS 3669 Non-destructive testing - Qualification and approval of personnel - Aerospace and AS ISO 9712 Non-destructive testing — Qualification and certification of NDT personnel) or equivalent.Tests are validated and evaluated on critical component or structural zones and actual and potential defects are considered, together with ongoing abnormalities in fabrications, components, structures from a wide range of applications by the selection of relevant testing method.Materials and chemicals which are subject to codes and regulations - for example, chemicals, explosives, solvents, dangerous materials, acids, or noxious waste products - are subject to safe work habits and must be stored and used in accordance with safe work practices.This unit should not be selected when unit MEM05025 Perform welding/fabrication inspection has already been selected.Where interpretation of technical drawings is required unit MEM09002 Interpret technical drawing should also be selected.Where the selection and use of engineering measurements are required unit MEM12023 Perform engineering measurements should also be selected.No licensing or legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. Certification against Australian Standards may be achieved where assessment in this unit of competency is carried out in conjunction with an examining authority as described in AS ISO 9712 Non-destructive testing — Qualification and certification of NDT personnel.Band: BUnit Weight: 12
