This calculator helps NDT Level 3 certificate holders track points for renewals (and recertifications) using the ISO 9712 structured credit system.
To qualify for renewals, certificate holders must achieve a minimum of 100 points during the 5-year recertification period with the following distribution:
- 50-70 points must come from Part A activities (technical experience, training, and research)
- 30-50 points must come from Part B activities (professional development, membership, and certification activities)
Use this calculator to track your points and ensure you meet the requirements for recertification.
