Is it necessary for a WPQ Welders Cert to be stamped with a CWI stamp and is it stated anywhere.

Recommended for you

It is necessary only if required by the contract. It is not required by AWS specifications.
 
Is this stated in AWS,ASME or anywhere else.
 
NO, it is not stated.

Not stated....don't have to do it
 
Then when can we use the stamp

Doesn't hurt anything at all to have a CWI stamp on WPQs, WPSs, PQRs....you can stamp these documents.

 
There is no requirement by AWS to ever use a stamp. Some contracts/job specs will want reports, PQR's, and WPS' to be stamped by a CWI.
 
Makes sense to stamp the WPQ's if you need the WPQ's on future projects. Codes may change, and some clients will only approve WPQ's approved by a third party organization.
