NDT and inspection services
You inspect other people's work
A field contractor or an accredited lab — the report you sign is your product, and it has to prove the inspector, the instrument and the method were all valid on the day.
Runs on NDT suite, underUNI EN ISO 9712, UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17025.
What it costs you today
Where the record breaks.
Validity is decided at the moment of signing
An inspector's ISO 9712 certificate and an instrument's calibration both expire on a date, and a report signed after that date is void no matter how good the reading was. The check that catches it is usually a spreadsheet nobody opens until a client asks.
Cost A signed report that turns out to carry a lapsed qualification or a stale calibration, recalled after it has already gone out
The field is captured twice
Readings are written on paper on the platform or in the trench, then retyped into a report in the office days later. Every transcription is a chance to introduce an error into the one document the client keeps.
Cost A discrepancy between what was measured and what was reported, in a document that is meant to be the record
Reports have to survive the assessment, not just the client
For an accredited lab the ISO 17025 assessor is not checking whether the result was right on the day of the audit — they check whether the system makes it right on every other day — method valid for purpose, equipment calibrated, person competent, and an issued report amended by supersession rather than edited in place.
Cost Findings on procedure and document control that put the accreditation itself at risk
Who this is
You inspect other people’s work. Someone else welds the joint, casts the part or lays the pipe; you prove whether it is sound.
That might be a field crew turning up to a site with PT, MT, UT and RT kit, or an accredited laboratory receiving samples under a scope. Either way you do not own the fabrication — you own the report, and the report is the product.
That changes the system of record. A fabricator’s world revolves around the joint.
Yours revolves around the inspector, the instrument and the method — and the evidence that all three were valid on the day the examination was made.
The regime you actually live under
Two standards sit over almost everything you do.
ISO 9712 governs the people. NDT personnel are qualified and certified per method, per level and per industrial sector.
A Level 2 in ultrasonics in one sector is not thereby certified for it in another. Certification runs up to five years, needs evidence of continuous activity to renew, and requires a near-vision check at least annually.
The three certification levels:
- Level 1 works under instruction;
- Level 2 interprets and evaluates against acceptance criteria;
- Level 3 carries technical responsibility for procedures.
A report concluded at a level that did not have the authority to conclude it is a finding waiting to happen.
ISO/IEC 17025 governs the laboratory, if you are accredited. It is not about the test being right on the day of the assessment — it is about the system that makes it right on every other day:
- the method valid for purpose,
- the equipment calibrated with traceability to the SI,
- the operator competent,
- the conditions within limits,
- the whole chain reconstructable afterwards.
It also demands that a statement of conformity carry a documented decision rule, and that an issued report be amended only by a superseding document, never edited in place.
The specific pain of proving it
The trap is timing. Certificates and calibrations expire quietly, and the cost of the lapse is not paid when it happens — it is paid at the moment someone signs a report the day after.
By then the examination is done and the recall is expensive.
Worgify keeps the inspector’s qualifications and the instrument’s calibration as live records. So “was this person certified, for this method and sector, and was this instrument in calibration, on this date” is answered by the system before the report can issue — not by a spreadsheet after the client asks.
The field data is captured once, offline, at the point of inspection, and becomes the report rather than being retyped into it.
And the report is a record, not a template edited from last job’s file. When it has to change, it is superseded by a further document that says so, the way an accredited lab is required to work.
Where to go next
Whether you send crews out with kit or run an accredited laboratory under a scope — or both — it is one product: Worgify NDT.
Offline field capture and inspector-and-instrument validity enforced at the point of signing for the field; scope of accreditation, measurement uncertainty and immutable amended reports for the lab.
The ISO 9712 and ISO 17025 layers switch on per the work in front of you.
The right fit for a company like yours.
