About the Board


The NANDTB was established to satisfy the requirements of Australian Standard AS 3669 which is used by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority as the standard for qualification and approval of persons performing NDT on aircraft in Australia. The 2006 version is the same as EN 4179 (European) and NAS 410 (American), which effectively results in a uniformity with the rest of the world. Each of these documents define the NANDTB as:
"An independent national aerospace organisation representing a nation's aerospace industry that is chartered by the participating prime contractors and recognised by the nation's regulatory agencies to provide or support NDT qualification and examination services in accordance with this Standard. Such services may include participation in approval."
