12th Annual NATL Conference

The final presentation was from Mark Ormrod of Royal and Sun Alliance and was entitled 'ASNT vs PED'

Mark presented the 'pro's and con's' of conforming to the new regulations on Pressure Equipment  as issued by the EU, and proved to us all that the easiest way of meeting the requirements was not through ASNT but the EU alternative route.
