RE: false certs
They can with hold certifications. But apparently the offending party doesn't really care about that.
RE: false certs
The area with the most falsifications has been with been with SS by SMAW and TIG welding Titanium.
RE: false certs
It seems to me that a fair disposition would call for the vendor to qualify the welders and if any fail the test, their welds would have to be cut out and replaced by a qualified welder.
Keep in mind that there is some latitude in qualifying welders per ASME Sec IX and in certain cases it may be acceptable to qualify a welder by radiographing a certain length of their production weld(s).
RE: false certs
Some projects require the welders to be qualified by testing on the job site by a third party. It is pricey, but it mitigates the opportunity for the erector to falsify welder qualification test records.
In the event there is doubt of the welder's ability to deposit sound welds, the inspector representing the owner usually has the authority to require the welder to be retested.

ASME might not be able to do anything but if your contract was properly written with these types of scenarios there is always the possibility of lawsuits.

Trust me I deal with them all the time. Every AG's office has a Consumers Division and Fraud Division.
They are the best to contact if you feel that no one else can help.
