Comparison between two methods of qualifying

  1. Internal qualification (SNT-TC-1A)

It means the design and certification award is performed by the employer. This method is implemented by an independent person hired by the employer or is someone out of the organization. The main advantage is the personnels are qualified in each item that the employer requires.
