Overview: Under the direction of WEE/46, for general standards for the application of non-destructive testing to mechanical engineering materials and components including the non-destructivbe testing of meatllic welds. This committee provides the detailed technical input to standards for general radiographic examination, radiographic examination of welds, real-time radiographuy, readiation methods, ionizing radiation and computed tomography. It provides the UK input into CEN/TC 138/WG 1, ISO/TC 44/SC 5/WG 1 and ISO/TC 135/SC 5.
