The National Nuclear Technology Policy 2030 (DTNN), led by Kementerian Sains, Teknologi dan Inovasi (MOSTI), has identified Advanced NDT as a strategic sector essential for driving Malaysia’s industrial growth and quality standards. With NDT techniques, we can enhance inspection and maintenance across industries without damaging components, ensuring higher standards of safety and quality in sectors like manufacturing, aerospace, and energy.

By advancing NDT, Malaysia is positioning itself as a regional hub for specialized knowledge and consulting in NDT, aiming to build local expertise and reduce reliance on foreign resources. To support this goal, DTNN outlines a robust framework that includes continuous updates to academic and training programs, launching certified NDT training centers, and fostering R&D efforts in line with international standards. Through these initiatives, Malaysia aims to develop a highly skilled workforce capable of meeting both local and global industry needs.

Key stakeholders, including the Agensi Nuklear Malaysia, universities, research institutions, STANDARDS MALAYSIA, Department of Occupational Safety and Health, Jabatan Pembangunan Kemahiran – JPK Putrajaya, and the Malaysian Society for NDT, are uniting to implement these objectives. Together, they are setting the stage for a resilient and innovative industrial sector, where quality and safety come first. As Malaysia’s capabilities in advanced NDT grow, so does its potential to lead as a trusted NDT knowledge center for the Asia-Pacific region, strengthening the economy and empowering industries to thrive sustainably.
