Tenders & Specifications – Suggested Wording for NDT Requirements on Canadian Projects

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is essential for ensuring the integrity, safety, and regulatory compliance of welded structures, pressure-retaining equipment and other welded products. It is a crucial part of quality assurance across multiple end-user sectors in Canada. To guarantee effective inspection, design specifications and tender documents must clearly outline NDT requirements. This includes ensuring that qualified inspection personnel are used, complying with relevant codes and regulations, maintaining consistency among contractors and suppliers, and ensuring the traceability and auditability of inspection results.
