What is

Welder Certification?

The certification of welders guarantees that the appropriate methods and procedures are carried out for the correct fulfillment of the requirements prescribed in the regulations, codes, standards, specifications, operating procedures or work instructions that will be used during the activity of qualification of welders.

In order to prove that the person or entity that wants to be certified meets these requirements, the certifier (in this case, Eurocontrol) performs a practical test based on the application of different standards or codes, depending on the welding process in which it is certified. The test consists of the execution of a weld under the supervision of our expert staff.

The certification process consists of the following phases:

Request: the requesting person or entity begins the process by sending the "Certification Request" Form. In order to access the certification, you must meet certain prerequisites.
Evaluation of the application: based on the information provided by the candidate, we will analyze the application and confirm its acceptance or not.
Examination: The designated process manager assesses the candidate's competency against the requested welding process standard or certification code. He will perform the visual analysis according to the reference standard or code and validate this information. If the result of the visual examination is satisfactory, the examiner will send the test pieces to the destructive or non-destructive testing laboratory or will supervise the destructive tests carried out on an expedited basis in a shop environment.
Certification decision: The decision on certification will be made exclusively by the Eurocontrol examiner, based on the information collected during the certification process.
Issuance of the certificate: once the test coupon passes all the tests requested by the application standard, a welder's qualification certificate is issued, which enables him to carry out the welding indicated in its scope.
