Overview

EN ISO 19232-2:2013 (ISO 19232-2:2013) defines a device and a method for assessing the image quality of radiographs using step/hole-type image quality indicators (IQIs). It is part of the ISO 19232 series on radiographic image quality for non-destructive testing (NDT) and is published by CEN/ISO to standardize how radiographic image quality values (IQVs) are determined for film and digital detectors.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and purpose: Specifies the design of step/hole-type IQIs and the method to determine the image quality value - the thinnest detectable element (hole number) on a radiograph.
  • IQI construction: The device is a series of 18 steps with corresponding holes (hole numbers H1–H18) organized into four overlapping ranges (H1–H6, H5–H10, H9–H14, H13–H18). Steps below 0.8 mm contain two holes; steps ≥0.8 mm contain one hole.
  • Dimensions and tolerances: Nominal hole diameters and step thicknesses are specified (see Table 1 in the standard). Holes must be perpendicular, not bevelled, and positioned with minimum clearances.
  • Materials and marking: IQIs must be of a single material (e.g., FE, CU, TI, AL) embedded in protective covering. Markings must show the smallest hole number, material letters and ISO designation; image marking absorption should not cause glare and is recommended to be no more than twice the absorption of the thickest step.
  • Selection and placement: IQI selection is based on specimen material and thickness; using the same material for IQI and specimen is preferred. IQIs are normally placed on the side facing the radiation source and remote from the detector. If placed adjacent to the detector-side surface, the radiograph must show the letter “F” to indicate this arrangement.
  • Determination of IQV: Viewing conditions per ISO 5580 apply. The image quality value is the smallest hole number that is clearly visible on the radiograph (both holes must be seen when a step has two holes). Verification frequency can be agreed between parties when exposures are reproducible.
  • Conformity: Each IQI must be supplied with a declaration of conformity in line with ISO/IEC 17050-1.

Applications and users

  • Primary users: NDT radiographers, inspection engineers, quality assurance professionals, NDT laboratories, and manufacturers of radiographic IQIs and detectors.
  • Practical uses: Verifying radiographic image quality in industrial radiography (weld inspection, casting inspection, pressure equipment), establishing acceptance criteria, and ensuring consistent sensitivity across film and digital radiography systems.

Related standards

  • ISO 19232-1, -3, -4, -5 (other parts of the image quality series)
  • ISO 5580 (radiographic illuminators / viewing conditions)
  • ISO/IEC 17050-1 (supplier’s declaration of conformity)

Foreword
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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 19232-2 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) in collaboration with
ISO Technical Committee TC 135, Non-destructive testing, Subcommittee SC 5, Radiation methods, in
accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 19232-2:2004), of which it constitutes a
minor revision with the following changes:
— updated references;
