Full Description

ANSI/ASNT CP-105 defines the required body of knowledge for training, qualifying, and certifying NDT personnel. This standard applies to personnel whose tasks or jobs require knowledge of the technical principles underlying the NDT methods for which they have responsibility. These tasks include performing, specifying, reviewing, monitoring, supervising, and evaluating NDT work. Specific updates in the 2024 edition of CP-105 include: Integration of machine learning into acoustic emission. Clarification of the terms “radiography” and “radiographic.” Updates to computed tomography, computed radiography, as well as limited certification for computed tomography. Revisions to vibration analysis courses, including basic and Level II intermediate vibration.

This standard applies to personnel whose specific tasks or jobs require appropriate knowledge of the technical principles under颅lying nondestructive testing (NDT) methods for which they have responsibilities within the scope of their employment. These specific tasks or jobs include, but are not limited to, performing, specifying, reviewing, monitoring, supervising, and evaluating NDT work. 

An essential element in the effectiveness of nondestructive testing (NDT) is the qualification of the personnel who are responsible for and who perform NDT. Formal training and actual experience are important and necessary elements in acquiring the skills necessary to effectively perform nondestructive tests.
