ICTQual ISO 1920-2:2016(en) Testing of Concrete Lead Auditor Course
The ISO 1920-2:2016 (EN) Testing of Concrete – Lead Auditor qualification is designed for professionals who want to develop advanced expertise in auditing concrete testing processes in line with internationally recognized standards. ISO 1920-2:2016 specifically focuses on methods for determining the density of hardened concrete, a critical parameter for ensuring structural strength, durability, and compliance in construction projects.
This programme equips learners with the knowledge and practical auditing skills required to assess laboratory and on-site testing activities, verify compliance with ISO requirements, and ensure accuracy and reliability in concrete testing results. As a Lead Auditor, participants gain the ability to plan, conduct, and report audits effectively while maintaining quality assurance standards across construction and materials testing environments.
Ideal for civil engineers, quality managers, laboratory personnel, and construction professionals, this qualification bridges the gap between technical testing procedures and auditing practices. It supports organizations in achieving higher levels of quality control, regulatory compliance, and operational excellence within the concrete and construction industry.
