Released mid-2021, this standard harmonized acceptance levels across VT, PT, MT, UT, and RT. The key update was the alignment of UT acceptance criteria with RT (making PAUT a true substitute).

Instead of post-weld inspection, 2020–2021 emphasized during-weld monitoring. Technologies included:

Note: This review synthesizes trends commonly found in journals such as the NDT & E International, Welding Journal, and conference proceedings from the IIW (International Institute of Welding) during the 2020-2021 timeframe.

In‑process monitoring: arc parameters, interpass temperature, weld sequence adherence; use of welding logs and photos.
