Non-destructive testing. Penetrant testing - General principles Ingestion-build-54484This part of BS EN 571 defines a method of penetrant testing used to detect discontinuities, e. g. cracks, laps, folds, porosity and lack of fusion, which are open to the surface of the material to be tested. It is mainly applicable to metallic materials, but can also be performed on other materials, provided that they are inert to the test media and they are not excessively porous, examples of which are castings, forgings, welds, ceramics, etc. This

This test method is not applicable to:

In specifying safety distances to prevent access and distances to impede free access a number of aspects have to be taken into consideration

but does not include the management of archival records within archival institutions

marking and quality control of gully tops and manhole tops

BS EN 4536-2 on plain bushes for use in aerospace industry is useful for:

within an organization

controlled under international agreements

are not covered by BS EN 10311

provided that they are inert to the test media and they are not excessively porous

drawing sheet sizes

It gives general guidance for the satisfactory design

BS EN ISO 14031:2000 gives guidance on the design and use of environmental performance evaluation within an organization
