ENIQ recommended practice 6 : the use of modelling in inspection qualification; Issue 2

This document is ENIQ Recommended Practice 6 on the use of modelling in inspection qualification. Models have been developed by several organisations for various inspection situations and, where applicable, can provide valuable evidence on inspection capability for inclusion in a technical justification. Authors of technical justifications may therefore be considering the use of models, which may be available in-house, bought in from an external organisation, or run by an external organisation on their behalf. This Recommended Practice provides advice on : • the types and range of available models ; • how the models can be used to generate evidence for a technical justification ; • important considerations and constraints in using models ; • validation of models ; • training on modelling. ENIQ Recommended Practice 6 "The Use of Modelling in Inspection Qualification" was firstly issued in December 1999. It is a living document and reviewed regularly to account for the latest experience gained from the use of this recommended practice and the latest progress in modelling approaches and technology. This version is Issue no. 2.
