— Primerjalni vzorci tipa 1 se uporabljajo za določevanje nivoja občutljivosti tako fluorescenčnih skupin penetrantov kot skupin penetrantov kontrastnih barv;
— Primerjalni vzorci tipa 2 se uporabljajo za običajno ocenjevanje delovanja tako fluorescenčnih skupin penetrantov kot skupin penetrantov kontrastnih barv; Primerjalni vzorci se morajo uporabljati v skladu s 1. delom tega mednarodnega standarda.

Overview
EN ISO 3452-3:2013 - "Non-destructive testing - Penetrant testing - Part 3: Reference test blocks" (CEN endorsed) specifies the design, construction and identification of reference test blocks used to assess and calibrate penetrant testing (PT) systems. The standard defines two types of reference blocks and requires their use in accordance with ISO 3452-1 (general principles). This part is intended for use with both fluorescent penetrant and colour contrast penetrant methods.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Type 1 reference blocks (sensitivity determination)
- Set of four rectangular panels (typical 35 × 100 × 2 mm) on a brass base.
- Nickel-chromium plating thicknesses: 10 µm, 20 µm, 30 µm, 50 µm.
- Transverse cracks produced by stretching; crack width:depth ratio ≈ 1:20.
- Used to determine sensitivity levels of penetrant product families (fluorescent and colour contrast - colour systems use 30 µm and 50 µm panels).
- Type 2 reference blocks (routine performance assessment)
- Single rectangular panel: 155 × 50 × 2.5 mm, base material stainless steel X2 Cr Ni Mo 17-12-3 (HV20 ≈ 150 ± 10).
- Rinsability area: four adjacent 25 × 35 mm zones with surface roughnesses R = 2.5 µm, 5 µm, 10 µm, 15 µm (R = 2.5 may be sand-blasted; others by electroerosion).
- Defect area: plated with electroless nickel 60 µm ± 3 µm and a thin hard chromium 0.5–1.5 µm; heat-treated to reach specified hardnesses (nickel HV0.2 ≈ 500–600; post-chrome heat treatment to HV0.3 ≈ 900–1 000).
- Five equidistant artificial indentations (created from the reverse side) with applied forces typically 2.0, 3.5, 5.0, 6.5, 8.0 kN and typical defect diameters ≈ 3–5.5 mm.
- Documentation and identification
- Each block must be identified with the ISO number, supplier ID and serial number.
- A Type 3.1 certificate (ISO 10474 / EN 10204) must accompany each block showing measured defect sizes and rinsability roughness values.
Applications
- Calibrating and verifying sensitivity of penetrant testing consumables and processes.
- Routine quality control and performance checks of PT inspection lines and procedures.
- Assessing rinsability and wash-off behavior of penetrants on different surface finishes.
- Training and competency validation for NDT technicians in penetrant inspection.
Who should use this standard
- NDT technicians and supervisors performing penetrant testing.
- Quality assurance / QC engineers in manufacturing, aerospace, oil & gas, automotive.
- Inspection laboratories, certification bodies and suppliers/manufacturers of reference blocks.
- Purchasing and metrology teams specifying certified reference artefacts for PT.
Related standards
- ISO 3452-1 (General principles of penetrant testing)
- ISO 3452-2 (Testing of penetrant materials)
- ISO 10474 / EN 10204 (Inspection documents / Type 3.1 certificates)
- Relevant stainless steel and tool-steel standards referenced for base materials
EN ISO 3452-3:2013 provides a standardized foundation for reproducible PT sensitivity checks and routine performance assessment, ensuring consistent inspection quality across industries using penetrant testing.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
