SGS NDT TESTING SERVICES

Non-destructive testing provides the most effective testing methods for
components, materials and systems used to ensure compliance, identify defects
and increase the lifespan of assets. Because NDT does not detrimentally affect
any object under inspection, it is a valuable technique which not only saves both
time and money during the quality and safety evaluation procedure, but raises
confidence in component integrity. In order to ensure reliable inspection,
suitable-trained and qualified NDT personnel equipped with state-of-the-art
equipment and necessary skills are essential to the industry.
