The question is vague. Can you please restate?
If you are asking about welder qualification, API 1104 Section 6.1 indicates:
"The qualification of welders shall be conducted in the presence of a representative acceptable to the company."
If it relates to welding procedure qualification, destructive testing is required.

Also, don't post the same question over several forums. Why it is in the ASME forum is a mystery.

Thank you for your answers.
SectionIX:
1) I am not referring to welder qualification for a specific project(client/company), but to welder qualification in my plant for future jobs. In this case what kind of represantive I can have?
2) During the D.T or N.D.T. tests, is it requiring the presence of examining body (whitness)?
SJones:
I post the same question over several forums, to check the differences between the Codes. This is the mystery.

The question starts with API 1104. Where did the ASME IX come from?

SJones I do not know what you meen. You ask me:
"Also, don't post the same question over several forums. Why it is in the ASME forum is a mystery.

I had post a question for API in a API forum, and a question for ASME in a ASME forum.
My apologies - didn't read the ASME posting in detail; but, that doesn't excuse not mentioning any code in the AWS forum!! Most of these US standards are generally the same: there is no requirement for external acceptance of welding data. You may wish to engage external verification of data to satisfy certain clients in the future. Some end users will only accept prior qualifications if they have been endorsed by a third party agency.
