A welder certificate documents that the welder can produce standard-compliant welds within a defined range of process, material group, thickness, diameter and position. Only welders with valid certificates may work on fabrication under EN 1090, EN ISO 3834, EN 15085 and PED.
Scope
- Defining the examination range: process (111, 135, 136, 141, 121, 311), material group, thickness, diameter, position (PA–PH, H-L045)
- Preparation of test pieces and examination under the supervision of our examiner
- Visual testing, bend/fracture tests, RT/UT and macro examination
- Issue of certificates by an accredited certification body
- 6-monthly validity confirmations and 2/3-year revalidation tracking
- Creation and management of the welder qualification matrix
