Thank you!

See 3.1.2
For pressure equipment in categories II, III and IV, operating procedures and
personnel must be approved by a competent third party which, at the
manufacturer's discretion, may be:
- a notified body,
- a third-party organization recognized by a Member State as provided
for in Article 13.
Nobody will put their signature to something and approve it without witnessing it.
Good luck finding a NoBo or Third party who will sign off and approve your welders without witnessing (remember witnessing weld tests is a nice little earner for them)
Cheers,
