With the development of ISO 18436 for the training and certification of condition monitoring (CM) personnel, a new level of harmonisation exists between the various CM methods. Methods being covered include vibration analysis (VA), acoustic emission (AE), lubrication management (LM) and infrared thermography (IRT). AE and IRT are methods also specified in some NDT standards such as EN 473 and ISO 9712. With the acceptance of ISO 18436 the world is now experiencing ‘growth pains’ and a confused direction for some trainers and certifying bodies wishing to train candidates and issue certificates of competence to ISO 18436. This paper discusses some of the problems being experienced by certifying bodies and trainers in CM as they struggle to implement ISO 18436. The British Institute of NDT (BINDT) has been in the forefront of development and implementation of qualification and certification systems aimed at conformance to ISO 18436 since 2002. As a result a fully developed certification scheme covering all four CM methods at three levels of competence is now completed and available to industry. This paper offers some insights into the problems that BINDT has overcome — and which others are about to face.
