Compliance and Audit Records

Atlantis NDT keeps audit-ready records under its ISO 9001 quality system; the company is certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 and is not accredited to ISO/IEC 17020 or ISO/IEC 17025. Every inspection, procedure revision, inspector qualification record and calibration certificate is timestamped with reviewer approval recorded, and kept for the period the governing code, regulator or client requires. If your own organisation is working toward ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 17020 or ISO/IEC 17025, see what each standard asks of an NDT programme.

Integration Path with Atlantis NDT Stack

Atlantis ERP has an open REST API, so it connects to SAP, Maximo, NetSuite or any other system that accepts API connections; each integration is scoped with you during implementation. Free integration scoping consultation — Atlantis stack: ERP + Digital Twin + Reporting Software + LMS.

Use the consultation to define the asset, examination objective, governing requirements, delivery arrangements and records needed. The proposal should identify responsibilities, timing, exclusions and any software or integration work.

Atlantis NDT Implementation Roadmap

Atlantis NDT delivers via a phased implementation roadmap — typically four to twenty weeks total depending on team size, scope, and integration surface. Phase 1 (weeks 1-2): free 30-minute discovery call + scoping document + named delivery lead assignment. Phase 2 (weeks 3-6): kickoff workshop, asset register import, inspector roster + cert scheme migration, procedure pack tailoring. Atlantis ERP has an open REST API, so it connects to SAP, Maximo, NetSuite or any other system that accepts API connections; each integration is scoped with you during implementation. Phase 4 (weeks 13-20): full production cadence, monthly performance review, audit-readiness drill, expansion to additional sites or modules.

Running this as a programme, not a one-off

If you are responsible for an inspection programme rather than a single job, the recurring problem is rarely the code — it is keeping measured thickness, damage-mechanism assignment and next-inspection dates in one defensible place. Asset integrity management software covers keeping measured thickness readings per CML in one place, so the RBI (API 580/581) and fitness-for-service (API 579) work your integrity team or its specialists carry out starts from measured data rather than default rates. Atlantis supplies the NDT data and the software to hold it; it does not perform RBI or FFS assessments.
