ISO 17636 consists of two parts:
These standards specify the technique, equipment, exposure conditions, image quality indicators (IQI), and acceptance criteria for radiographic testing of welds in steel, aluminum, and other metallic materials. It is widely used in industries such as oil & gas, aerospace, shipbuilding, pipelines, power plants, and heavy engineering.
Radiographic testing (RT) is a critical method in non-destructive testing to detect internal defects like cracks, porosity, or inclusions that may compromise safety and functionality.
Implementing ISO 17636:2022 ensures that your radiographic testing methods comply with international quality and safety benchmarks. This is crucial for industries where weld integrity is non-negotiable. Whether you are a fabricator, EPC contractor, or asset owner, this standard helps verify that your welds meet the required strength and durability specifications.
By opting for ISO 17636:2022, your organization showcases its commitment to quality control, safety, regulatory compliance, and risk mitigation, strengthening both domestic and international credibility
