Hi

I think if we want to do visual check inspection & testing involving use of colour then we need our engineer/ technician to go for eye examination.

After I look and study the API Q1 and API Spec. 6A and 6D they never specifically ask for eye visual check or test for the QC and QA inspector.

All NDE inspectors definitely need eyes tests because in PT or dye pentrant test which use of color paint for the test.

hi, all

I just found out that in API Spec 6A under clause 7.3 QC Personnel Qualifications:
sub-clause 7.3.2 page 62, entitled Visual examination personnel have to undergo or take and pass an annual vision examination in accordance with manufacturer's ISO 9712, EN 743 or ASNT SNT TC 1A.

It also said that in accordance with the manufacturer's documented procedure.

hope it helps you all about it.
