Located in Shanghai, China and renowned for its internationally recognized comprehensive training and examination services in NDT, the SGS Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Training and Examination Center is offering Personnel Certification (PCN) and SNT-TC-1A training courses throughout the year.

The SGS training and examinations services are in accordance with European and international standards EN 473 and ISO 9712. These two standards were recently combined to form one new harmonised standard which is EN ISO 9712 : 2012.

In response to an increased demand for good, qualified non-destructive testing (http://www.sgs.com/en/Industrial-Manufacturing/Services-Related-to-Production-and-Products/Materials-Testing/Non-Destructive-Testing.aspx) inspectors, the Shanghai SGS NDT Training and Examination Center provides weekly training, examination and certification services in non-destructive testing. The SGS training utilizes an extensive syllabus for both basic and advanced NDT methods. Moreover, SGS provides training and examination services for the PCN certification issued by the British Institute of NDT headquartered in the United Kingdom.

Non-destructive testing is one of the most effective testing methods for objects, materials and systems used to assure compliance, identify defects and increase the lifespan of the assets. Since NDT does not detrimentally affect any object under inspection, it is a highly valuable technique which not only saves both time and money during the quality and safety evaluation procedure, but raises confidence in component integrity. In order to ensure inspection reliability, suitably trained and qualified NDT personnel equipped with the state of the art equipment and necessary skills are required by, and essential to the industry.

The SGS NDT Training and Examination Center in Shanghai has been granted Authorized Qualifying Body (AQB) and Accredited Training Organization (ATO) status and is annually audited by BINDT. This accreditation allows SGS to carry out both PCN training and examinations for Levels 1, 2 and 3 according to the PCN Certification Scheme which fulfils the requirements of EN 473, ISO 9712 and the new EN ISO 9712 : 2012 standards. SGS provides training and examination services for both the conventional and state of the art advanced NDT methods.

Since training is a key strategy of the SGS mission to improve quality and safety the world over, SGS provides a comprehensive curriculum of training in accordance with PCN and SNT requirements (http://www.sgs.com/%7E/media/Global/Documents/Brochures/S...) (http://www.sgs.com/~/media/Global/Documents/Brochures/SGS-IND-NDT-PCN-SNT-Course-Schedule-2013-EN-12.ashx) for training courses which include instruction in the following areas:
