The document provides breakdowns of the key components that should be included when writing quality procedures and instructions for non-destructive testing. A written procedure should include an introduction, scope, references, personnel qualifications, safety requirements, preparation instructions, equipment requirements, and calibration information. A written instruction focuses on providing step-by-step directions and includes a foreword, personnel requirements, test apparatus, product details, test conditions, inspection instructions, and reporting requirements. Both should define acceptance criteria and provide disposition and reporting instructions.
