What is true concerning a Trainee's activities according to SNT-TC-1A?

The principle that a trainee may conduct tests but cannot report results aligns with the guidelines established in SNT-TC-1A. This standard emphasizes the importance of ensuring that non-destructive testing (NDT) activities are conducted under appropriate oversight and that the integrity of test results is maintained.

Trainees, while allowed to gain hands-on experience performing tests, lack the requisite qualifications to independently report findings. This is critical for maintaining safety and quality standards within the NDT process. Reporting results may involve interpretation and decision-making that requires a higher level of expertise and responsibility than what a trainee possesses.

By restricting trainees from reporting test results, SNT-TC-1A ensures that all results are validated by a qualified individual, upholding the reliability of the testing processes. Thus, while trainees play an essential role in conducting tests to gain practical experience, those results must be managed by qualified personnel to ensure accuracy and accountability in the testing environments.
