Pan-American Conference for Nondestructive Testing ( VIII PANNDT)

CINDE promotes and participate in the development and application of NDT in Canada and internationally through society membership, conferences, a technical Journal, this web site, educational programs, book sales, research, qualification activities and consulting services. Our facilities provide approved test centres for conducting Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) examinations for the Department of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and Certified Exposure Device Operator (CEDO) examinations for the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC). Training is conducted by accredited instructors who bring a diversity of experience from all industries and emphasize a practical "hands-on" approach.

CINDE was introduced on May 15, 2001 once the amalgamation of CSNDT (Canadian Society for Nondestructive Testing) and the NDE Institute of Canada was complete. The beginnings of these organizations date back many years.
