UW-51(a)(4) refers you to 7.5.5 of Div. 2 which refers you to ASME Section V, Article 4, Appendix VIII. Appendix VIII requires procedure qualification per Appendix IX of Article 4.
This is just one example of a construction Code requiring NDE procedure qualification. NDE procedure qualifications must be witnessed by the Authorized Inspector.
