Why Your Company Needs a Qualified NDT Responsible Level III

In today’s regulatory and quality-driven environment, having a qualified NDT Responsible Level III on your team isn’t just a best practice—it’s a necessity. Whether you're in aerospace, defense, industrial maintenance, or manufacturing, the role of the Level III is critical for compliance, safety, and reliability. At EchoTech NDT Solutions, we provide contracted Level III services to support your operations without the overhead of a full-time hire.

What is an NDT Responsible Level III?

A Level III is the technical authority over your company’s NDT program. Under ASNT SNT-TC-1A, NAS 410, or similar standards, the Level III is responsible for:

• Developing and approving written practices

• Certifying NDT personnel

• Writing and approving NDT procedures

• Providing technical guidance and interpretation

• Performing audits and quality reviews

• Ensuring compliance with customer, industry, and regulatory requirements

When Do You Need a Level III?

If your business performs or contracts NDT—especially for regulated industries—you need a Level III to:

• Establish and maintain a compliant certification program

• Oversee testing and documentation for third-party audits or client inspections

• Support contract requirements under API, ASME, AWS, ASTM, or NAS 410

• Provide technical backup for field inspectors and QA/QC staff
