About Asia Pacific Conference for Non-Destructive Testing (APCNDT)
The 15th APCNDT is considered the major regional event for the Asia Pacific Federation for Non-Destructive Testing (APFNDT) and its member societies. The conference includes a technical and scientific program and workshops, which presents the latest developments in the field of research and development as well as the applications of NDT in all major industrial areas. The exhibition organised in conjunction with the conference emphasises the close link between research and development and the equipment and instruments used in the industry. The conference and the exhibition combine the best promotion of NDT and at the same time offer unique opportunities to establish contacts and exchange experience and ideas between participants and visitors. APCNDT started in 1976 with the first conference being held in Japan. Over the last 4 decades, APCNDT has made considerable progress and has provided the international forum for highlighting the accomplishments in the field of non-destructive testing. The Asia Pacific Conference for Non-Destructive Testing (APCNDT) is held every four years, the last one was held in Mumbai, India in November 2013.
