Non-destructive testing methods ensure that materials, products, machinery and systems are safe and fit for purpose.

The practical application of radiological, acoustic, electromagnetic, optical, fibre optical, thermographic and sensor-based methods, the development of new methods, the improvement and combination of existing methods, and supporting the development of standards and technical guidelines in this framework – these are the key activities of the Non-Destructive Testing department.
