British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing
The British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing or BINDT is a professional body for engineers and other technical professionals involved in non-destructive testing and condition monitoring in the United Kingdom. The institute was founded in 1976, by amalgamation of the Society of Non-Destructive Examination (SONDE) and the NDT Society of Great Britain (NDTS), which were both founded in 1954.[1]
BINDT is a licensed member institution of the Engineering Council[2] and a full member of the European Federation of NDT (EFNDT) and the International Committee for NDT (ICNDT). Their headquarters is located in Northampton, UK.
Certification
[edit | edit source]BINDT maintains PCN (Personnel Certification in Non-Destructive Testing). PCN is a personnel certification scheme in NDT methods, welding inspection and condition monitoring, which is accredited by UKAS according to ISO 17024.[3] PCN certification schemes for the major NDT methods conform to BS EN ISO 9712 (2012).[4] PCN condition monitoring certification schemes in Vibration Analysis, Acoustic Emission, Infrared Thermography and Lubrication Management and Analysis conform to the appropriate parts of ISO 18436.[5]
Journal
[edit | edit source]BINDT publishes "Insight - Non-Destructive Testing and Condition Monitoring", which includes original research and development papers, technical and scientific reviews and case studies.[6]
BINDT also publishes "NDT News". This is a trade magazine for NDT, inspection, condition monitoring and quality practitioners. It is sent free of charge to its members and to PCN certified personnel.
