Welding certification is a critical element in providing assurance of the structural and pressure integrity of fabricated components and systems. Code compliant welding procedures and operator qualifications demonstrate the knowledge and skills needed to ensure consistent and safe welding practices. Independent witness and review also give customers confidence and a level of assurance that safety-critical assets are being welded safely and achieve the desired quality levels required by the regulation and codes of construction.
With all these requirements, some businesses struggle to know which welding codes and standards their welders, welding operators, procedures and products need to meet. It can also be difficult to coordinate multiple organisations for your welding certifications. To address these challenges, LRQA has introduced a new one-stop fixed fee service for your entire weld certification process in collaboration with the test house, WQiC.
Services covered include:
- Witness of welder and weld procedure tests
- Laboratory testing (NDT & DT)
- Welder and weld procedure certification
- Weld certification management including a reminder three months ahead of your certificate expiry.
LRQA holds ISO 17020 accreditation as well as ISO 17021-1, ISO 17024 and ISO 17065 and can certify weld procedures, welders and welding operators to most of the frequently used national and international codes and standards such as EN ISO 9606 and 15614 series, ASME, EN ISO 15613, and ISO 14732. LRQA’s inspectors are experts in their sectors and specialisms and will work with you to help you meet the required specifications, regulations and standards for your organisation – giving you one partner for the whole process.
