Level three NDT certification means your NDT technician has undergone extensive training and examinations and has years of experience working in the field, applying nondestructive testing methods to help strengthen structures and improve the longevity of assets like utility poles, railways, and lattice towers.
To become level three certified requires the following:
While passing this exam gives you a level three title, the method exam is still required for the full certification that allows you to perform level three services in the field.
The method exam is in-depth testing for thorough knowledge of theory and method, inconsistencies you’ll encounter when running these tests, and the wide range of applications for test results and analysis.
You need an NDT level three (also called an ASNT level three) for any nondestructive testing done at your facility. A level three NDT technician must be present to manage and oversee NDT programs at your facility. They sign off on any testing and procedures you want to complete. They issue certifications to other NDT technicians. In essence, they manage and oversee your facility’s NDT program. Unless you’re working closely with an NDT level three, you cannot determine the true condition of structures and assets below their surface. You run the risk of asset failure, service interruption, assets being damaged or falling down, costly outages, and a much higher liability for safety risks.
You know assets can fail without proactive level three oversight. But unless you’re a large company, you may not have it in the budget.
Even as a small- to medium-sized business with only one or two technicians, there’s good news. You don’t need to pay for full-time NDT personnel, and you can still have the benefit of level three oversight and expertise.
