CERES-NDT × ISO 17020

ISO 17020 Inspection Software

Accreditation-Ready Platform for Type A Inspection Bodies

ceres-ndt is a web-based NDT management platform designed to meet the operational and documentation requirements of ISO/IEC 17020 accredited inspection bodies.

What is ISO/IEC 17020?

ISO/IEC 17020 is the international standard that ensures the competence, impartiality, and consistency of inspection bodies. It governs record management, personnel competence, equipment calibration, internal audits, and document control. Meeting these requirements on paper is possible but slow — especially when an accreditation auditor walks in. ceres-ndt digitizes the entire process.

Expiry dates are alerted in advance. Scope eligibility is automatically checked when assigning technicians to work orders.

Equipment Calibration Management

Each instrument's calibration schedule is managed by the system. Out-of-calibration equipment is flagged when assigned to a work order.
