CERTIFICATION OF NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING PERSONNEL

1.0 Purpose and Scope This document details the procedures that JANX will follow to train, test, and certify nondestructive testing personnel. The procedures herein will be used for all test methods that the Company employs. The objective of the Company is to supply competent NDT personnel to our clients by employing these procedures and thereby providing the client with reliable test results.

2.0 Responsibility for Implementation 2.1

The end responsibility for implementing the certification procedures lies with the Corporate Level III, John A. Newland. He may, however, appoint level III individuals based on their experience, training, and test results to i mplement the procedures on his behalf. These individuals and the Corporate Level III shall be the “certifying authority” for the Company and shall be responsible for experience verification, training, testing, and certification of NDT personnel.

2.2

The certifying authority, as of the date of this revision, shall be empowered to sign certifications, renew certifications, and revoke certifications.

2.3

The certifying authority, as of the date of this revision, include John Newland, Steven Flickinger, Ed Porter, Mike Porter, Travis Rogers, Timothy Frazee, Carl Frazee, Daniel Williams, Jim Barrett, Jesse Smith, Rusty Cole, and Russell Watson.

3.0 Records and Documentation 3.1

All records generated by these written procedures shall be kept on f ile at the Company offices, shall be maintained in a neat and orderly manner, and shall be made available to clients and personnel upon their request.

3.2

This written practice for the certification of NDT personnel shall be maintained and kept on file at the Company offices, and it shall be made available to clients and personnel upon their request.

4.0 Levels of Qualification 4.1

JANX employs three levels of qualification for NDT personnel. The three levels and their descriptions are as follows: 4.1.1

Level I – shall have the skills and knowledge to properly perform specific calibrations, specific tests, and specific evaluations, and document the results, in accordance with specific approved procedures. The NDT Level I shall be capable of following an approved nondestructive testing procedure with the necessary guidance or supervision from a certified NDT Level II or NDT Level III individual, in the method for which he is qualified.

4.1.2

Level II - A Level II NDT technician shall be able to calibrate equipment, conduct nondestructive tests, interpret the results of those tests to specific codes and standards, read and understand the specific codes and standards, supervise Level I technicians,

Page 3 of 20



organize and document all records relating to the testing method used. A Level II shall be thoroughly familiar with the method that is employed and its scope and limitations. 4.1.3

4.2

Level III - A Level III NDT technician shall be able to train and test Level I and Level II technicians as well as direct and supervise those individuals. A Level III should be capable of all of the duties of a Level I and a Level II te chnician and be capable of establishing techniques and procedures for non-destructive tests. He/she should be capable of interpreting codes, standards, specifications, procedures, and techniques relating to the method to be employed. The Level III shall have a general understanding of the other NDT methods.

Designation as a Level I, II, or III is evidence of technical competency of an individual for a particular NDT method, but does not necessarily mean promotion to that rank within the Company. In matters pertaining to Company policy, a supervisor should be consulted.

12.0

Interruptible Service

12.1 JANX defines interruptible service as performing NDT on a non-regular basis, for example, performing radiography on one day, performing magnetic particle testing on the next day, and then performing radiography on the third day. Because there was a period of time between the two times that radiography was performed, the radiography was interruptible as was the magnetic particle testing. 12.2 JANX has broken interruptible service into two separate categories. 12.2.1 Short Term Interruptible Service – Where the time in between performance of a particular NDT method is less than 3 months. a. This does not require recertification or reexamination unless the Level III deems it to be necessary. 12.2.2 Long Term Interruptible Service - Where the time in between performance of a particular NDT method is more than 3 months. a. This requires recertification by examination unless the Level III deems it to be unnecessary.

13.0

Training Course Outlines

13.1 General 13.1.1 The Level III, when conducting training sessions, may shorten or lengthen the course depending on the experience of the attendees. 13.1.2 Home study courses may be administered as an option if the Level III determines that this option is warranted. 13.1.3 The training courses listed below will cover material as referenced in SNT-TC-1A.
