7.4 Predictive Maintenance (PdM) Level III Certification<br />

Program<br />

Recognizing that there are areas <strong>of</strong> specialization within the infrared<br />

thermography discipline, the ASNT T/IR committee has promoted the<br />

development <strong>of</strong> specialty certification. The Predictive Maintenance Level III<br />

Certification Program has been developed by ASNT in response to this effort.<br />

Developed to meet the needs <strong>of</strong> the predictive maintenance sector <strong>of</strong> the<br />

industry, this program incorporates the vibration analysis (VA) and<br />

infrared/thermal (IR) test methods. A PdM-specific body <strong>of</strong> knowledge,<br />

including knowledge <strong>of</strong> the Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A and the<br />

ANSI/ASNT CP-189 standard, is used for the two-hour PdM basic<br />

examination. The VA and IR method tests are the same as those used in the<br />

ASNT NDT Level III program. A separate and distinct PdM Level III certificate<br />

is issued for this certification.<br />
