The organisation hereafter described is named the INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING. Its abbreviation is ICNDT. The graphic symbol is the abbreviation name ICNDT printed on a world globe.
ICNDT is a non profit organisation devoted to the international development of the science and practice of Non-Destructive Testing, in conjunction with individual NDT Societies and recognised Regional continental groupings of NDT Societies. ICNDT's activities are dependent on the voluntary actions of its Members.
The first World Conferences on NDT were held in Brussels in (1955), Chicago (1957), and Tokyo (1960). The ICNDT was set up in 1960 to promote international collaboration, with the specific task of arranging successive World Conferences.
Terms of reference were first developed in 1960 and subsequently revised in 1967 (Montreal), 1979 (Melbourne) and 1982 (Moscow).
The present revision of the Constitution and Terms of Reference incorporates changes in the organisation which have become necessary in the late 1990s.
