Manufacturer's representative for welds examination
Manufacturer's representative for welds examination
(OP)
The radiographic Evaluation By Manufacturer (T-285) and the Radiogrhap Review Form (T-292) described in section V of ASME B&PV code, refers to a "Manufacturer's representative
who performed the final acceptance of the radiographs".
What are the skills, experience and certifications that this manufacturer's representative must have to perform that job? (according to the code).
I'm asking that because I need to check If the forms that the received from a contractor, were well performed and signed by a qualified person according to code.

films are review by the xray co's level 2
and you should have his personell's certs sheet along with their RT procedures (at least if you asked for approval privilages in PO)
the manufacture's reviewer (if alrealdy review by level 2) does not need any certs as long as he is experienced in rt interpretation.
and of course the AI will review all film
in short....somebody's level 2 should review the film and sign off on reader sheet

That is what we have been doing so far, but, is there any part of the code secifying this requirements? or it is an standard practice?
I dind't mention that our company is located in Colombia, South America, where the ASME code is not mandatory (but we specify it in our order requirements) and we have many NDE "inspectors" here but we need to know if they are qualified according to the code.
