PREFACE
This procedure is a revision or an overlay to a Saudi Aramco Engineering Procedure,(SAEP) for the scope of the Yanbu Export Refinery Project, YERP, unlessspecifically defined as a New document. A YERP specification consists of a revisionor an overlay and the Saudi Aramco (SA) document with the same name. Anoverlay establishes any required changes to the SA document and specificallydefines the changes. If the SA document is to be used without any changes theoverlay will state there are no changes required. If the document is a new YERPdocument, with no reference to a SA standard, the overlay will state it.
The YERP Procedure Index identifies which YERP documents are new and the onesthat relate to SA documents that are unchanged, changed, or deleted.
All references to SA procedures, specifications and standards are to be defined asreferences to YERP procedures, specifications and standards unless specificallystated otherwise in the overlay.
All references to SA organizations are to be defined as the YERP ManagementTeam.

6.2.2 Verification examinations for personnel performing ultrasonicexaminations, radiographic film interpretation, and MFL tubing or tank
floor testing and personnel affecting the interpretation thereof shall be
administered by Saudi Aramco or an Inspection Department approvedindependent test authority.
6.3 Visual Acuity Examinations
Vision examinations shall be performed annually according to Section 6 of
ANSI/ASNT CP-189. The examinations shall be documented and retained inthe individuals file.
7 Certification
7.1 Individual NDT methods may be subdivided into specialized techniques as listedin Appendix I; performance qualification may be required in each of the
applicable specialized techniques at the discretion of the Inspection Department
NDT Unit, Dhahran. Limited certifications in NDT methods are acceptableproviding the training and education requirements are reduced to not less than
half for that particular method. For example: Level II UT personnel arerequired to possess 1) a total of 80 hours training; 2) total of 800 hours
experience in UT; and 3) a total of 1600 hours total NDT experience. A level II
UT Thickness Gauging certification would require at least half of those same
hours of training(40) and experience(400) with the bulk of the training inthickness gauging operations.
7.2 Personnel performing or evaluating NDT results shall be certified in the NDT
method or specialized technique being used.
7.3 Recertification
7.3.1 Level I and II personnel shall be recertified by the employer as perSection 6 of CP-189, i.e., by examination. Recertification by
demonstration of experience is not allowed.
7.3.2 Level III personnel shall be recertified by verification of the individual'sASNT Level III certificate in each method for which recertification is
sought. A practical examination may be required as well for level IIIrecertification as per 6.2.1 at the discretion of the Saudi Aramco HeadLevel III.
