About SAINT
SAINT Professional Body for NDT
The South African Institute for Non-Destructive Testing (SAINT) Professional Body for NDT is a SAQA-recognized professional body dedicated to advancing Non-Destructive Testing across South Africa and the surrounding region.
Formed in 1968 as SAINT (the South African Institute for Non-Destructive Testing), we have worked for over 50 years to get NDT recognized as one of the engineering sciences. In September 2025, SAINT and the SAINT Professional Body for NDT merged to form a single, unified entity under the name SAINT Professional Body for NDT, combining our strengths to better serve the NDT community.
We are registered with SARS as a Non-Profit Organization and governed by our constitution and an annually elected Council where all members are volunteers.
