The NDT Validation Centre

The NDT Validation Centre is an independent body set up as a resource for reviewing, assessing and verifying all aspects of non-destructive testing. The Centre is run by TWI Ltd (managed through TWI Certification Ltd) in collaboration with Swansea Institute of Higher Education and set up with financial support from the UK Department of Trade and Industry, the Knowledge Exploitation Fund and a range of industrial sources.

It was formed as part of the National Composites Network (NCN) - a Knowledge Transfer Network, also funded by the DTI and managed by TWI - which facilitates knowledge sharing, networking and technology transfer. Whilst there is a focus on composite materials, the validation process is equally applicable to all other engineering materials, and the Centre has considerable knowledge and experience of the inspection of many materials and components.
