ASNT NDT Level III: AE ET MT PT RT UT VT IR LT NR VA ML
Equalization permits you to renew any (or all) of your ASNT NDT Level III certificates when your earliest certificate
expires. You pay one $250 Application Fee and one Method Fee per Method. All equalized certificates will then
have the same expiration date, using the date of the earliest expiring certification.
Renewal applications must be postmarked no earlier than 6 months and no later than 2 months prior to the
expiration date shown for each method. If equalizing methods with different expiration dates, the application must
be postmarked 6 to 2 months prior to the expiration date of the earliest expiring method.
Example 1: An application to renew MT and PT Level III certifications both expiring in July 2017 must be postmarked
between January 31, 2017 and May 31, 2017, which are 6 and 2 months prior to July 31, 2017, respectively.
Example 2: An application to renew and equalize an RT certification expiring October 2017 and a UT certification
expiring February 2018 must be postmarked between April 30, 2017 and August 31, 2017, which are 6 and 2 months
prior to the earliest expiration date of October 31, 2017.
***If the application review determines that additional documentation is required, it MUST
be received prior to the candidate's expiration date or the certification will expire.***

INFORMATION CONCERNING THE POINT SYSTEM FOR RENEWAL
1. ASNT Level III Refresher Courses, accredited CEU courses, college courses, corporate training department courses
and courses of similar quality leading to examinations do qualify for renewal points, provided they contribute to
knowledge and growth at or above the qualification level (Level II or III) in the methods in which the applicant is
certified, or are NDT-related (e.g. math, physical science, QC, etc.), or cover advanced NDT material.
2. Time spent taking examinations of any kind do NOT qualify for renewal points.
3. Acting as a Session Chairman at a Society meeting, or as a Section Officer, National Officer, Council, or Committee
Chairman does NOT qualify for points; these are not technical functions. The only exception is for participation in
technical society meetings whose primary function was to accomplish a significant technical (not administrative)
project. Such projects must meet the requirements for Activity H in Table 1.
4. Test procedures, QC manuals, etc. prepared for employers do not qualify for points; they are considered as part of an
applicant's occupational or work experience.
5. To earn points for attendance at technical sessions, documentation of attendance at the actual technical
presentations must be submitted. Proving general attendance at the conference is not sufficient. At all ASNT
Conferences, forms for documenting attendance are provided at each technical session; have them signed by the
session chairperson and submit copies of them with the application for recertification.
6. Reports prepared for employers do not qualify for points unless and until they are given as a technical presentation or
published per Activities C or F in Table 1.
7. Passing mathematics or physical science courses in connection with a college degree program qualifies for points, but
it is the applicant's responsibility to document the contact hours in order to receive the point credit.
8. Certificates of completion for courses must show either contact hours or CEUs. It is up to the applicant to supply
suitable documentation showing such hours or CEUs. One CEU equals 10 contact hours and is equivalent to 2.5
ASNT recertification points.
9. Providing the name of a person who can verify points is not satisfactory documentation. It is the applicant’s
responsibility to provide hard copy, i.e., documentation with the attesting person’s signature.
10. To count for points, papers must be published in a technical society journal or official society publication. Publications
which are not generally available to the public, such as company or governmental meetings or reports, are not
acceptable. Similarly, talks given at meetings not open to the public do not earn points.
11. In general, the type of point documentation is the same as that needed to satisfy a strict QA/QC auditor. The ASNT
Certification Program records are audited annually and must show strict compliance with the above rules and
procedures, so full compliance is required of all applicants, including proper documentation. In case of doubt about
the suitability of documentation or whether points should be awarded, the final decision rests with the Certification
Management Council.
DEFINITIONS
Committee Projects: Specific identifiable official activities of the national technical societies such as round-robin or
individual studies, preparation of guidelines, appendices, specifications, recommended practices, codes or standards,
etc., may qualify. Documentation may include memo or letter reports, drafts of committee output documents, or major
written comments on documents. Verbal comments, attendance at meetings, or return ballots without major comments do
not qualify.
External NDT Audit: An NDT audit of a facility other than that of the auditor's place of employment such as NDT vendor
or supplier audits.
Full Article: A full article is one of 1000 words or more at the time of publication.
Membership: Membership will be calculated based on the number of months a certificate holder has been a member in
the current 5-year certification cycle. For each month of membership, 1/12th of a point (0.083 points) may be claimed.
National Meetings: Meetings, conferences, symposia, seminars, panels, etc., organized or sponsored by a national
technical society or societies and advertised nationally. Regional conferences may qualify if they meet the above criteria.
Trade shows and trade association meetings do not qualify. Closed meetings, i.e., those with attendance or notification
restricted to certain groups, do not qualify. Foreign or international meetings qualify if the sponsor(s) are national or
international and the attendance is not restricted.
Patents: Patents shall be those issued by the U.S. Patent Office or equivalent non-US governmental agency.
Publication Development and Review: Authors and reviewers may earn points for publication activities as shown below provided the

Technical Society: A not-for-profit society representing a segment of industry in an NDT-related field or representing an industry that
is an NDT user.
Technical Society Publications: The publications of national technical societies qualify. Foreign or international technical journals
also qualify.
Other Technical Certifications: Currently valid non-ASNT NDT-related certifications such as the AWS CWI or SCWI; API 510, 570 &
653; NACE and ASQ CQA can be counted for one point each. If a certification body issues a separate certificate for each individual
NDT test method, then only one certificate from that certification body may be counted.
