CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE--The stage is set

摘要

The stage is set for the 17~(th) WCNDT in Shanghai, China, from 27-30 August 2008 and with that comes the platform for ICNDT to move forward with the legalisation of our organisation. Over fifty years ago, the International Committee for Non-Destructive Testing, ICNDT, was given considerable independence and a broad mandate "to promote, encourage, support and provide a venue for international NDT societies to gather under one roof to advance the field of non-destructive testing".
