NACE SP0102, In-line Inspection of Pipelines and ASNT ILI-PQ, In-line Inspection Personnel Qualification and Certification all have been developed enabling service providers and pipeline operators to provide rigorous processes that will consistently qualify the equipment, people, processes, and software utilized in the in-line inspection industry.
