View License Agreement Nondestructive testing standards, recommended practices, specifications, procedures, definitions, and classifications are described in technical documents used by both producers and consumers. These documents provide the common language for the testing and evaluation of raw materials, products, structures, and components. Preparing technical documents which are acceptable to involved parties requires a major effort on the part of professional organizations and governmental agencies.
