About This Item
TS EN ISO 12718 is a vocabulary standard for terms used in eddy current testing. In non-destructive testing, the goal is to evaluate a material or product without causing damage; eddy current testing is especially associated with conductive materials and the interpretation of electrical responses caused by changes in conductivity, geometry, surface condition, and near-surface discontinuities. This standard harmonises the technical language of the method so that users, trainers, suppliers, and documentation systems refer to the same concepts in the same way.
The technical context of eddy current testing
AS GENERAL TECHNICAL CONTEXT, eddy current testing uses a probe or coil to induce circulating electrical currents in a test piece. Variations in material properties, thickness, conductivity, geometry, and discontinuities affect the resulting response, which is then interpreted by the operator or instrument system. For that reason, terminology matters: clear definitions help distinguish terms such as signal, reference, defect, probe, and calibration-related concepts. As a vocabulary standard, TS EN ISO 12718 provides a common linguistic reference rather than prescribing a specific test procedure.
What this document covers
