Which are the differences? On aviation industry, Could it be considered equivant?. Thanks in adavance. Best reagards I have corrected my e-mail address....                  Reply  Translate  Close   Dave Wilkes Dave Wilkes 08:25 Feb-06-2002 Re: Equivalence between EN4179 and SNT-TC-1A No need to apologise Eva, those of us who have been in this industry for many years, are still trying to understand the various qualification schemes and their equivalences. My first thoughts would be that your ASNT operator would not be EN 4173 approved, unless he had attended and qualified on a EN 4173 approved course. But the final say is normally with your client who in most instances can choose to accept alternative qualifications. There is an article on EN 4173 on this website that you might find useful. http://www.ndt.net/article/ecndt98/aero/056/056.htm Regards Dave Wilkes Asst Editor www.ndtcabin.com "The internet magazine for ndt professionals" NDTCabin                  Reply  Translate  Close   Udo Schlengermann Consultant, - Standards Consulting, Germany, Joined Nov 1998, 176 Udo Schlengermann Consultant, - Standards Consulting, Germany, Joined Nov 1998 176 04:21 Feb-06-2002 Re: Equivalence between EN4179 and SNT-TC-1A Reply by Udo Schlengermann: this is only to give the correct document titles: The question is related to the following standards: 1.
