Nadcap audit success at NDT Services Ltd - January 2009
NDT Services Ltd returned after the Christmas and New Year break straight into a Nadcap audit on both the non destructive testing side of the business and for the first time, the new pre-penetrant etch facility. The non destructive testing re-assessment audit was carried out over a five day period, followed by a one day initial audit on the etch facility. On completion of the audit, Nadcap reported zero findings on any of the processes under evaluation, which now puts NDT Services Ltd onto the two year supplier merit programme for both non destructive testing and chemical processing. Managing Director Graham Tomlinson praised his technical team headed up by Quality Manager Ian Kitto, “They have done a fantastic job, and the results are a credit to them and all of the employees of NDT Services Ltd.”
