Description

BS PD CEN/TS 17108:2017 describes the good practices of lighting under UV-A radiation and in white lightas used for penetrant testing (PT) and magnetic particle testing (MT) for improved probability ofdetection (POD).

This informative document deals with the irradiance and the illuminance used in PT and MT. It isintended for:

manufacturers, who are encouraged to supply the criteria and the restrictions on use of theirproducts, as well as detailed characteristics for the appropriate choice and the optimum use ofsources available on the market;
users, to enable them to make the best use of lighting sources for efficient inspection in workingconditions;
