Employer-based vs central certification

Employer-based certification (for example under SNT-TC-1A) is issued by the technician's employer and expires when they leave; central certification (ISO 9712 via PCN, AINDT and others) is issued by an independent body and travels with the technician.

Also known as: in-house certification, third-party certification, central certification.

Choosing between them

Employer-based schemes suit companies with a resident Level 3 and stable methods; central certification suits mobile workforces and tenders that require independent proof. Neither replaces the company’s own procedures, equipment calibration or accreditation.

Certificates in AMPS

Whatever the scheme, each technician ends up with several dated documents. AMPS keeps personnel and equipment certificates on dedicated personnel and equipment pages, and its flag system warns one month before a certificate, calibration document or scheduled inspection falls due, so managers always know what is missing or expiring.
