BINDT publishes report on requirements for acceptance of automated decision-making in NDT, SHM and CM
BINDT has announced the publication of the report from the Workshop on Requirements for Regulatory, Insurance and Legal Acceptance of Automated Decision-Making in NDT, SHM and CM Technologies, which was held in May 2025.
BINDT has announced the publication of the report from the Workshop on Requirements for Regulatory, Insurance and Legal Acceptance of Automated Decision-Making in NDT, SHM and CM Technologies, which was held in May 2025. The workshop was organised by BINDT in collaboration with the UK Research Centre in NDE (RCNDE) and the Forum for Engineering Structural Integrity (FESI).
Whilst progress continues to be made in automating the analysis, interpretation and sentencing of data from non-destructive testing (NDT), structural health monitoring (SHM) and condition monitoring (CM) technologies, the deployment of such capability is subject to the support of insurers, regulators and the development and interpretation of case law in all the sectors where NDT-related technologies are used. This workshop was organised to address the needs of these disciplines in preparation for the future deployment of automated decision-making (ADM) technology.
This workshop brought together regulators, insurers and lawyers from multiple sectors along with the NDT, SHM and CM communities to address the opportunities and challenges presented by these developments. This resulting report aims to capture the requirements of these disciplines and define ‘what success looks like’ for future NDT, SHM and CM technologies.
The report is now available to download from the BINDT website at: www.bindt.org/events-and-awards/PastEventsandWebinars/workshop-on-requirements-for-regulatory-insurance-and-legal-acceptance-of-automated-decision-making-in-ndt-shm-and-cm-technologies
