Central Laboratory of Technical Inspection (CLDT) - one of the largest and most modern testing laboratories in Poland is constantly developing
In current dynamic world, CLDT is expanding the spectrum of its activities to meet the expectations of the market and our customers. Today, our laboratories offer services with modern ultrasound testing techniques, i.e. TOFD (Time of Flight Diffraction), PAUT (Phased Array), TULA (TOFD Ultra Low Angle), which significantly facilitate the interpretation of the results obtained, increase the speed of testing and improve the quality of imaging. We are equipped with a Phased Array ultrasonic scanner (PAUT) for inspection of circumferential welds on small diameter pipes, as well as a Scorpion 2 inspection robot. In hard-to-reach areas and large area equipment (e.g., storage tanks), we perform visual inspections using UAVs (drones), which can also be equipped with thermal imaging cameras.
Our laboratories also offer testing by the PEC (Pulsed Eddy Current) method, which enables rapid thickness measurements of pipelines without removing thermal insulation, without the need for head coupling and without preparation of the test surface. Another test from our wide portfolio is vibration measurement by the optical motion amplification method. The use of a high-speed camera makes it possible to use every pixel in the recorded image as a measurement sensor.
Office of Technical Inspection (UDT) signs an agreement with the Civil Aviation Authority and the Military Aviation Authority
On 3rd of June 2024, an Agreement on cooperation in the field of qualification and certification of non-destructive testing personnel in aviation was signed by Adam Ogrodnik (Vice President of Office of Technical Inspection), Brig. Gen. Pil. Robert Cierniak (Chief of Military Aviation Authority) and Julian Rotter (Acting President of Civil Aviation Authority).This document defines the principles of operation of the National Non-Destructive Testing Certification System and the recognition by the President of the CAA and the Chief of the MAA National Commission for Non-Destructive Testing in Aviation within the meaning of point 3.22 of the Polish Standard PN-EN 4179.
The agreement replaces the previous one between UDT and CAA, which has been in force since 2013. Now, the Agreement has been joined by the MAA. Its scope is the result of experience gained and many years of cooperation between UDT and CAA in the field of qualification and certification of NDT personnel in aviation.

"Safety - Your Choice" campaign
In order to fulfil the statutory obligation to promote subject area related to the safe operation of technical devices, UDT runs a campaign called "Safety - Your Choice".
The goal of the campaign is:
• popularization of the rules of safe work and operation of technical devices subject to UDT supervision,
• promotion of good practices and shaping appropriate attitudes in the area of technical safety,
• prevention of accidents at work caused by the so-called human factor.
The "Safety - Your Choice" campaign is addressed to employees and their direct superiors, users of technical devices employed in sectors with high level of occupational hazards, health and safety services and vocational training centers.
UDT provides:
• distribution and dispatch of materials prepared by UDT experts presenting the principles of safe equipment operation. Materials are also available at trade fairs and other events;
• publication of thematic articles in "Inspektor" magazine;
• organization of trainings and conferences for UDT clients on the subject of operational safety of technical devices;
• popularization of knowledge about the principles of operational safety during relevant trade fairs and external conferences.
The educational and preventive campaign "Safety - Your Choice" won the third place in the National Competition for Improvement of Working Conditions organized by the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy. The awarded project focuses on the operational safety of forklift trucks and construction cranes.
The competition honors technical and organizational solutions as well as scientific studies, the use of which contributes to the improvement of working conditions. The competition also promotes educational projects and promotes the subject of safety and human protection in the work environment.
