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 Post Reply      Translate            04:21 Feb-06-2002 Udo Schlengermann Consultant, - Standards Consulting, Germany, Joined Nov 1998 174 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.
