Welder Performance Qualification
Our Surveillance Department can independently witness and verify welders, who follow detailed written instructions to produce test pieces (usually in the form of a Preliminary Welding Procedure Specification – pWPS – or a Welding Procedure Specification – WPS). We then coordinate testing of these pieces through our independent UKAS-accredited laboratory to enable qualification or coding to a National, European or Internationally recognised standard.
We have a great Surveillance Department that can witness and verify professional welders. These are experts who can follow detailed instructions to come up with test pieces mainly in the form of preliminary welding procedure standard specifications. We then coordinate the testing of the produced pieces in our labs in a bid to enable coding or qualification to a European, National, or internationally recognised standards. Additionally, we also provide programmes for managing continuing qualifications or re-qualifications of welders. We will also organise documents showing evidence that can be used to support certificate prolongation.
