ASNT 9712 CERTIFICATION

In 2023, ASNT Certification Services LLC launched the ASNT 9712 Certification Program (formerly known as the ASNT Central Certification Program [ACCP]) for Level II and Level III.

This program certifies NDT personnel through examination to the highest standard. It offers third-party certifications, including performance demonstration, and supports qualification requirements per SNT-TC-1A, ANSI/ASNT CP-9712 (ISO 9712:2021):2023, and ANSI/ASNT CP-189. It promotes national and international recognition of NDT certification and can be used within employer-based programs.

ASNT 9712 requires the successful completion of examinations in any of the four NDT test methods available: magnetic particle testing (MT), liquid penetrant testing (PT), ultrasonic testing (UT), and radiographic testing (RT). Visual testing (VT) will follow soon. Level II is attainable in individual techniques within a test method or may cover all techniques.
