Workshop on requirements for regulatory, insurance and legal acceptance of automated decision-making in NDT, SHM and CM technologies
13-14 May 2025
Congress Centre, Great Russell Street, London, UK
Whilst progress continues to be made in automatingthe analysis, interpretation and sentencing of data
from non-destructive testing (NDT), structural health monitoring (SHM) and condition monitoring (CM) technologies, the deployment of such capability is subject to the support of insurers, regulators and the development and interpretation of case law in all the sectors where non-destructive evaluation (NDE) related technologies are used. This workshop aims to address the needs of these disciplines in preparation for future applications.
This workshop brings together regulators, insurers and lawyers from multiple sectors together with the NDE,
SHM and CM community to address the opportunities and challenges presented by future applications of automated decision-making. The aim is to generate a document that captures the requirements of these disciplines and ‘what success looks like’ for future
NDT, SHM and CM technologies.
