5 Testing of penetrant materials
5.1 Personnel
Testing shall be carried out by proficient, suitably trained and qualified personnel and, where applicable, shall be supervised by competent personnel nominated by the employer or, by delegation of the employer, the inspection company in charge of testing. To demonstrate appropriate proficiency it is recommended that personnel be trained according to ISO 9712 or an equivalent formalized system. Operating authorization for personnel shall be issued by the employer in accordance with a written procedure. Non-destructive Testing (NDT) operations, unless otherwise agreed, shall be authorized by a competent and qualified NDT supervisory individual (Level 3 or equivalent) approved by the employer.
5.2 Testing facilities
5.2.1 Type testing
Type testing shall be carried out on penetrant materials according to ISO 3452-1 with exceptions as defined in this part of ISO 3452 to ensure their conformance to the requirements of this part of ISO 3452.
Type testing shall be carried out by a laboratory accredited in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 for type testing of penetrant materials.
5.2.2 Batch testing
Batch testing to the requirements of this part of ISO 3452 shall be carried out on each production batch according to ISO 3452-1 to ensure the batch has the same properties as the corresponding type approval sample. In the case of penetrant material packed in spray cans, the content of sulfur and halogens shall be additionally determined according to 6.12.
Batch testing shall be carried out under a defined and maintained quality system. A system meeting the requirements of ISO 9001 is considered suitable.
