Magnetic Particle Levels 1 & 2
TRAINING OBJECTIVES: This course is intended to provide detailed instruction in the theory and
practices of magnetic particle inspection, including the capabilities and
limitations of the method. Instruction will be given in generally accepted
inspection techniques in accordance with codes and standards.
APPLICABLE STANDARDS: This program meets the requirements of CAN/CGSB-48.9712, ISO 9712 and SNT-TC-1A.
DEFINITION OF LEVEL 2 PERSONNEL (AS PER CGSB): Level 2 personnel are defined as
personnel qualified in magnetic particle testing who will perform and/or direct magnetic
particle inspection according to established or recognized procedures and shall be responsible
for the magnetic particle method or technique to be used, and for the assessment of test results.
