Official basis (Method): ASTM E1417/E1417M covers examination requirements. Apply the component specification for acceptance; personnel certification and quality accreditation are separate matters.
Procurement note: Do not mix product families or sensitivity classes without qualification. Fluorescent inspection needs controlled lighting; customer acceptance criteria remain separate from consumable selection.
