visual testing;
instrumental verifications and non-destructive testing (NDT);
a final report about inspection and investigations (to be signed by a specialised engineer). The report is completed by a magnetic particle inspection certificate made by a UNI EN 473/ISO 9712-certified technician. It details any abnormalities and the residual life of the equipment.
