The ANDE-1 Standard provides requirements for a “Central Qualification and Certification Program” conducted by a Third-Party Certification Organization (Certification Body) for Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) and Quality Control (QC) personnel and uses both performance-based and prescriptive requirements that serve as the program core for these activities. The ANDE Certification Program will provide transportable recognized credentials for the nuclear industry (in-service and new construction) with certification addressing NDE Level I, Level II, and Level III and QC Level II and Level III personnel.
