1980- Feb 1996 Ultrasonic
Services, Crema (CR): a company supplying technical
services in the mechanical industry sector since 1980. I started by working
in the technological test laboratory and continued with non-destructive
testing, inspection, extra-furnace heat treatments and consultancy for
company Quality System where I specialised in compiling Quality Manuals,
System management procedures and Control Operating Procedures.
I have been operating in different company typologies such as steel plants
(Foroni, Falck), valve manufacturers (Grove, Raimondi), pressure vesselsmaking companies (FBM, ATB, Breda, OLMI, Nuovo Pignone), nuclear,
thermoelectric and hydroelectric power plants (ENEL Caorso, Trino,
Cassano, Piacenza, Sondrio), chemical and petrochemical plants (Refineries

S.Nazzaro, Mediterranea, API Falconara, Enichem Ravenna, Montedison
Priolo), and others.
This diversification allowed me to get familiar with many of the problems
faced in the various production processes, from production to construction
and maintenance of plants as well as evaluation of plant residual lifetime
and I also took part in the evaluation of accidents.
I attended many training courses and I have been awarded the following
qualifications: II level for ET, MT, PT, RT, UT, MSLT methods
according to SNT-TC-1a and/or CICPnD ST 1-86. Besides I have obtained
specific qualifications such as API RP 2X for Off-Shore structure
released by RINa and J.Brown; job qualifications such as LLRR for the
execution of UT according to BSI method or KWU at Trino power
station as well as Ansaldo's UT IGSCC at Caorso power station. From
the beginning I have gained a wide experience in writing specifications,
procedures, control plans as well as in the management of complex
intervention involving the coordination of operatives.
Since 1986 I have been teaching in training courses for personnel in
charge of non-destructive testing; I took part in different NDE specialist
conferences and I was member of UNI Work Group dealing with strain
gauging test regulation and I have carried out this type of test for 5 years.
Two-year interval allowed me to learn the Acoustic Emission and the cooperation with the Dutch company RTD put me into contact with novel
inspection techniques such Floorscanner, IRIS, etc.
The Company Quality policy has always been a reference point as well as a
service offered to clients. In this respect I have set up Quality Systems by
writing Quality Manuals on behalf of many companies operating in the
machanical sector and others. In our consortium I have covered the function
of Quality Manager from 1989 to 1993 obtaining the system cetification in
compliance with ISO 9001 standard (UNI EN 29000).

esami specificati ai paragrafi da 8.3 a 8.8 per il Livelli I
e II NDE, o gli altri Livelli III.
La gestione e la valutazione dell’esame può essere
delegata a un rappresentante qualificato del Livello III
NDE e registrata.
Un rappresentante qualificato del datore di lavoro può
eseguire la gestione e la valutazione dell’esame al
Livello III specificata in 8.7.
Per il personale di Livello I e II, il valore composito
sarà determinato dalla semplice media dei singoli
risultati degli esami generale, specifico e pratico
descritti di seguito. Per il personale di Livello III, il
valore composito sarà determinato dalla semplice
media dei singoli risultati degli esami di base, metodo e
specifico descritti di seguito.
L’esame gestito per la qualifica dovrà risultare a un
valore composito di almeno 80%, senza che in alcun
singolo esame il valore sia inferiore a 70%.
Quando l’esame gestito e valutato per QCsrl da una
agenzia esterna e l’agenzia esterna emette solo il
risultato di “promosso” o “non promosso”, su un
rapporto di certificazione, QCsrl accetta solo un valore
minimo di 80 % per quel particolare esame.

For Level I and II personnel, a composite grade shall
be determined by simple averaging of the results of the
general, specific and practical examination described
below. For Level III personnel, the composite grade
shall be determined by simple averaging of the results
of the basic, method and specific examination
described below.
Examination administered for qualification shall result
in a passing composite grade of at least 80%, with no
individual examination having a passing grade less
than 70%.
When an examination is administered and graded for
QCsrl by an outside agency and the outside agency
issues grades of pass or fail only, on a certified report,

VALUTAZIONE TECNICA PRATICA
Il personale NDE può essere riesaminato in ogni
momento a discrezione del proprio responsabile o del
Livello III e avere la propria certificazione estesa o
revocata.
La pratica esecutiva dei Livelli I e II sarà valutata dal
Livello III QCsrl applicando il controllo NDE su un
prodotto QCsrl con discontinuità o su un campione con
discontinuità e documentando come descritto nel
paragrafo 8.5 di questo documento.
La valutazione tecnica pratica sarà effettuata in almeno
un metodo ogni anno.

The technical performance of Level I and Level II
personnel will be evaluated by the QCsrl Level III on
the NDE performed on QCsrl flawed products or

performing work in radiography. The safety training does not count toward technique requirements. Basic radiation safety training
should follow current government regulations. A Radiation Safety Topical Outline is available in Appendix A of ASNT CP-105 and can
