Atlantis NDT ISO 9001 + ISO 17020 + ISO 17025 — Integrated Quality System 2028

For NDT inspection contractors + calibration laboratories + training providers + cert bodies, the four ISO standards form an integrated audit-defensible quality framework: ISO 9001:2015 (quality management system, all organisations), ISO 17020 (inspection bodies — third-party, second-party, first-party), ISO 17025:2017 (testing + calibration laboratories), ISO 17024:2012 (personnel certification bodies). Atlantis NDT ERP delivers all four on a single integrated platform — no separate document-control system, no separate audit-management spreadsheet, no separate calibration-lab LIMS.

ISO 9001:2015 — QMS for the Whole Organisation

ISO 17020 — Inspection Body Accreditation

For Type-A (third-party, independent), Type-B (second-party, in-house but autonomous), Type-C (first-party, in-house) inspection bodies. Atlantis NDT ERP supports all three types. Key clauses: §6.1 Personnel + competence (cert traceability per inspector + method + level); §6.2 Facilities + equipment (instrument register + calibration cert + traceability to NIST/NPL/PTB); §7.1 Inspection methods + procedures (Procedure library + Level III sign-off); §7.4 Inspection records (audit-trail per inspection); §7.5 Inspection reports (Atlantis NDT Reporting Software template library); §8.5 Internal audit + management review (automated). 1-2 ANAB / UKAS / DAkkS surveillance audits per year — auto-prepared.

ISO 17025:2017 — Calibration + Testing Lab Accreditation

For calibration laboratories that issue traceable calibration certificates for NDT instruments (UT pulser-receivers, RT exposure-rate meters, PAUT systems, IRT cameras, eddy-current instruments).

Integrated Stack vs Four Disjoint Tools

Customer comparison: typical NDT inspection contractor running ISO 9001 + ISO 17020 stacks spreadsheet-based document control + separate calibration-lab LIMS + separate cert-tracking spreadsheet — 4 disjoint tools, ~40 staff-hours/week of admin + 3-7 audit findings per surveillance cycle. Atlantis NDT integrated stack replaces all four. Result: ~5-8 staff-hours/week admin (down ~80%), 0-1 audit findings per surveillance cycle.
