On June 26 and 27, 2026, Christoph Bertels successfully completed a refresher training course followed by a final examination in the field of Penetrant Testing (PT), Qualification Levels 1+2, Sector IS. During the practical part of the course, numerous test specimens were examined for various types of defects and irregularities.

The theoretical part of the refresher course was also successfully completed. This means that both the practical and theoretical knowledge and skills in the field of Penetrant Testing have once again been demonstrated and refreshed. The corresponding certificate has been valid since July 17, 2026, and remains valid until May 25, 2031. Christoph Bertels therefore continues to hold a valid qualification certificate for performing and evaluating Penetrant Testing at Qualification Levels 1+2 in Sector IS.
