无损检测与评价技术在我国日常产品质量检验和大量在用工业和民用设备的检验中发挥了十分重要的作用。综述了我国无损检测与评价技术发展的历史、人员的培训和认证体系及统计、学术会议和仪器展览情况、标准现状、仪器的生产和销售状况、人员教育现状、目前的主要研究和应用领域。从统计结果看，我国拥有近17万无损检测人员和2 000多家无损检测机构，2007年无损检测仪器的销售额达10亿元人民币左右，大专院校每年培养近千名无损检测专业的大专、本科和研究生。我国不仅对常规无损检测设备、器材和服务有着巨大的需求，而且对先进的无损检测仪器、技术和服务也有大量的需求。我国已成为一个无损检测仪器、技术和服务的巨大市场。我国的无损检测工作者已经在许多技术和领域进行了大量的研究、开发和成功的应用。

NDT&E plays a very important role on our daily production testing and in-service inspection of industrial and civil equipment in China. The history, personnel qualification and certification system, conference and instrument exhibition, standard, instrument, education, main research and application areas for NDT in China were reviewed. From the statistic results, we can find that there are more than 170, 000 qualified NDT personnel and 2,000 NDT organizations in China. A lot of NDT instrument and equipment valued more than one billion Yuan RMB revenue were sold in 2007. Near 1,000 students of NDT major are graduated from college or University. China not only has a large requirement for conventional NDT instrument and service, but also for advanced instrument, technique and service. China is being a big market for NDT instrument, technique and service. Many advanced NDT techniques also have been studied, developed and successfully used.
