Independent verification of competency for NDT across Canada

Certification confirms eligibility. IVOC confirms demonstrated field competency.

IVOC Canada provides independent competency verification for NDT personnel through practical, scope-specific assessment before inspection work is relied upon for engineering, maintenance, or asset integrity decisions.

Built for owner-operators, engineering firms, fabricators, and contractors that want stronger confidence in the people performing critical inspection work.

What IVOC brings

IVOC adds an independent layer of review focused on real execution, technical judgment, and reporting quality within the actual scope being performed.

Independent

Unbiased third-party review focused on demonstrated capability, not assumptions.

Scope-Specific

Verification aligned to the method, application, and work actually being performed.

Field-Based Built around real execution
Independent Unbiased objective third-party review
Scope-Specific Relevant to the work involved
Documented Clear outcomes and traceability

Why IVOC exists

Certification can confirm baseline qualification, but it does not always confirm whether a technician can execute competently under real field conditions. IVOC exists to help close that gap before poor inspection quality affects critical decisions.

Reduce avoidable risk

Confirm competency before inspection results are used to support repair decisions, continued service, or technical follow-up.

Strengthen confidence in results

Give clients and engineering teams stronger confidence in the people performing integrity-sensitive inspection work.

Support technical credibility

Create a more credible and defensible way to verify capability beyond tickets, resumes, and assumptions.

What IVOC Canada does

Technician verification

Assessment of execution, setup, interpretation, technical judgment, and reporting quality for defined inspection scopes.

Contractor and crew validation

Pre-job validation for clients that want stronger confidence in the technicians or crews assigned to critical work.

Program and technical review

Review of procedures, records, and supporting controls to help determine whether stated capability aligns with real field execution.

Bring IVOC in before the work starts

The best time to verify competency is before inspection quality begins influencing engineering, maintenance, repair, or integrity decisions.
