SAINT is driving to try and secure the hosting rights for the 2032 WCNDT in Cape Town. We are working on an awesome bid presentation at the Korea Conference End of May.
We are competing against 5 other countries
We have received a tremendous amount of support from the NDT Fraternity in South and from countries in Africa for which we are very grateful.

The December issue of the Journal for non-destructive testing and evaluation (JNDE), published by the Indian Society for Non Destructive Testing and Evaluation, has given it’s permission for SAINT to publish the Journal. It contains 4 technical papers on NDT 4.0 which are well worth a read. It is also of interest to see how large the Indian NDT Society in fact is and how many branches they have all over India.
With thanks to Manfred Johannes for picking up on this information to share with the NDT fraternity.
