In complex inspection environments, certification alone does not establish governance. Defensible inspection programmes require controlled written practices, defined competency frameworks and documented oversight structures.

Without clear technical authority, inspection outputs become vulnerable under audit or regulatory scrutiny.

Ensonify provides structured frameworks designed to ensure repeatability, traceability and defensibility

Ensonify’s Technical Authority Framework consists of four core disciplines that ensure technical accountability and inspection defensibility.

Written Practice Development

Employer-based certification and written practice frameworks aligned with ISO 9712 and SNT-TC-1A principles.

Procedure Development & Control

Application-specific ultrasonic procedure authoring aligned with written practice frameworks, validation evidence and technical authority oversight.

Competency Framework Oversight

Defined Level 1/2/3 responsibilities, authorisation, training requirements and technical review controls.

Independent Level 3 Review

Remote data audit, sizing verification and structured Level 3 technical sign-off mechanisms.

• Clear responsibility boundaries — ensuring roles are defined and decisions are traceable
• Controlled document revision processes — preventing uncontrolled procedural drift
• Validation-to-procedure traceability — connecting validation evidence to procedural control
• Audit-ready technical records — enabling transparency under scrutiny
• Defined authority hierarchy — clarifying decision rights in technical governance

This ensures inspection outputs remain technically defensible under scrutiny
