Concerned to Welder Performment

Concerned to Welder Performment

Concerned to Welder Performment

(OP)
Dear all,

I have a problem about welder.

when i qualify welder so do i need third party for witnessing and suppply certificate?

my think, there are constructor and client is enough.  

RE: Concerned to Welder Performment

Need more information.

Are you the Contractor's company inspector testing your own welders?

 

RE: Concerned to Welder Performment

We need to know the applicable code at least before an answer is possible.   

RE: Concerned to Welder Performment

(OP)
I am constructor company inspector and ASME IX or AWS D1.1 or also API 1104 was applicated.  

RE: Concerned to Welder Performment

None of those Codes mandate third party witnessing of Welder Qualification; however, Jurisdictions and Clients may mandate third party witnessing.   

RE: Concerned to Welder Performment

As per ASME Sec.IX - TPI Witnessing & Certification for Welder Qualification is Not required

As per BSEN 287-1 - TPI Witnessing & Certification for Welder Qualification is required.

Summary

Witnessing & Certification of Welder Qualification depends upon the Standards used. Apart from that it depends upon the Client's requirement/Project Requirement.

RE: Concerned to Welder Performment

If you are the individual responsible for the qualification of welders and you need to ask if a third party is required, then my response is that it would be prudent to hire a third party that is knowledgeable of the requirements of the welding standards cited.

My recommendation is to seek the services of an individual certified to AWS QC1 as a Senior Certified Welding Inspector and if you cannot find one then seek someone that is qualified to AWS QC1 as a Certified Welding Inspector.

Best regards - Al
