Substantial agreement meens much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. ‘Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward thee resolution. ‘The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does notin any respect preclude anyone, whether they have approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing or using products, processes, or products not conforming. tthe standards ‘The American National Standards Tastitute does not develop standards and wil inno eiscumstances give an interpretation of aay ‘American National Standard, Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to fsue an interpretation of an American National Standard i the name of the American National Standards Institte, CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at anytime, The procedures ofthe American National Standards institute require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard, Purchasers of American National Standards may receive curren information on all standatds by calling ox writing the American National Standards FOREWORD (This foreword ts not part of American National Standard CP-105-2011.) An essential element inthe effectiveness of nondestructive testing (NDT) is the qualificstion ofthe personnel who are responsible for and ssho perform nondestructive testing. Formal traning Is an important and necessary eloment in acquiring the skills necessary to effectively perform nondestructive test. ‘The American Society for Nondestructive Testing, Inc. (ASNT) hes, therefore, undertaken the preparation and publication ofthis standard, which specifies the body of knowledge to be used as part ofa training program qualifying and certifying NDT personnel ASNT CP-105: ASNT Standard Topical Outlines for Qualification of Nondestructive Testing Personnel was initially processed and approved {or submittal to the American National Standards Insitute (ANSD by the ASNT Standards Development Committe.
