Standard Test Block(STB) for UT(Ultrasonic Testing) is a block approved by authoritative for material, shape and quality. STB is used for characteristic tests, sensitivity calibration and control of the time base range of UT inspection devices. The material, size and chemical components of STB should be strictly controled to meet the related standards such as ASTM and JIS because it has an effect upon sensitivity, resolution and reproductivity of UT. The STBs which are not approved are sometimes used because the qualified STBs are very expensive. So, the purpose of this study is to survey the characteristics, quality and usability of Non-Standardized Test Blocks. Non-Standardized Test Blocks did not meet the standard requirements in size or chemical components, and ultrasonic characteristics. Therefore if the Non-Standardized Test Blocks are used without being tested, it's likely to cause errors in detecting the location and measuring the size of the defects.

e-navigation is a Strategy developed by the IMO. It aims to implement the strategy in 2018. To this end, e-navigation Software Quality Assurance and Human-Centred Design Guidelines has been developing for the implementation and development of e-Navigation. The IMO MSC approved this guideline as a MSC circular in June 2015. In this paper, international standards of software quality assurance and human-centred design has been surveyed and analyzed in terms of usability testing for the practical application of this guideline. The result is planning to be reflected in the practical application guidance for the development of e-navigation equipment hardware-software combination.
