Non-Intrusive Inspection: From Classic to Custom Made – a Dutch Perspective

In the Netherlands, legislation regarding the inspection of pressure equipment is directive, and the requirements regarding how to do so are very narrowly defined. In the recent past, this meant that all designated pressure equipment had to be opened, cleaned, and visually inspected internally. The alternative to this was risk-based inspection. However, to be allowed to use Risk-Based Inspection (RBI), a stringent set of requirements had to be met, making this essentially only feasible for large installation operators. There was a desire from the market to develop an additional alternative that was also feasible for smaller users. In this webinar, TÜV Rheinland will share the legislation structure, the steps in the process taken to move to the implementation of Non-Intrusive Inspection and the requirements for the execution of Non-Intrusive Inspection.
