The British 4nstitute of NDT states9 Non&'estructi(e testin"an' ins$ection are (ital )unctions in achie(in" the"oals o) e*cienc! an' +ualit! at an acce$ta,le cost-
4n *any cases, these functions are hi+hly critical: painsta5in+procedures are adopted to pro'ide the necessary de+ree of8uality assurance6

that a co*pany;s technicians are ale to de*onstrate that theyha'e the re8uired le'el of 5no1led+e and s5ill6
This is particularly so since NDT and inspection acti'ities are'ery operator dependent and those in authority ha'e to place

4ndeed, durin+ farication, NDT and inspection pro'ides the lastline of defence efore the product enters ser'ice, 1hilst once aproduct or structure enters ser'ice, in-ser'ice NDT is often the

The NTSB re'ie1ed the techni8ue used to inspect the dis5and one possiility for the failure of se'eral inspectionscarried out after the fati+ue crac5 had exceeded the*ini*u* detectale defect siGe 1as the fact that the dis51as suspended y a cale throu+h the ore6
To fully apply the penetrant and later the de'eloper and tofully inspect the ore includin+ the area oscured y thecale, the operator has to physically rotate the part6

4t is possile that the inspectors *ay not ha'e correctly
processed or 'ie1ed the ore area due to the cale, or thatdurin+ rotation the cale oliterated the indication or causedloose de'eloper to fall on to the crac5 and oscure theindication6
The NTSB also consider that there is a stron+ chance theinspectors 1ere experiencin+ inattentional lindness6 Thistype of dis5 tends to produce indications near do'e tail postsand rarely in the ore, this could cause inspectors to inspectthe ore 1ith less attention6

4nspectors tend to 1or5 independently and ha'e little or no
