Holders of valid ASNT Level III certifications should have:
A. An ASNT NDT Level III Certification, printed in black on parchment paper with an ASNT seal in raised gold, signed by the ASNT President and the Chairman of ASNT's Certification Management Council. The certification will either carry endorsement stickers signed by the ASNT'S Manager of Technical Services or it will have a computer generated list of test methods, which shows the expiration date for each test method.
B. A plastic or laminated wallet card, signed by ASNT's Manager of Technical Services, showing the test methods in which the holder is certified and the expiration date of each method.
Because improper claims of NDT qualifications can invalidate contracts, damage quality and reputations and jeopardize lives, ASNT encourages all interested persons to verify the certification status of anyone claiming to hold ASNT NDT Level III certification. Verification may be quickly obtained by contacting the ASNT Technical Services Department at (614) 274-6003, or fax (614) 274-6899.
