Study Notes
Welding Qualification and Renewal Procedures
- Welder’s qualification remains valid for two years unless there is a specific reason to question their ability or if the qualification is limited to a shorter period.
- If a welder's ability is questioned, their qualification is immediately suspended, and they must pass a check test before it is reinstated.
- A welder’s qualification may be revoked if they are not engaged in welding for a specified period or leave the employ of the company.
- A welding operator’s qualification remains valid indefinitely unless there is a specific reason to question their ability.
- Similar to welders, if a welding operator's ability is questioned, their qualification is suspended and they must pass a check test before reinstatement.
- A welding operator’s qualification may be revoked if they are not engaged in mechanized or automatic welding for a specified period or leave the employ of the company.
- A welding operator qualified with a single electrode process is also qualified for welding with multiple electrodes for the same process and vice versa.
- For robotic welding programmers, if the programming function is performed by company personnel, they must follow testing requirements and be issued a qualification.
- The company must demonstrate that the robots employed for welding activities meet the welding procedure specifications and data sheets.
- A robotic welding programmer’s qualification may be revoked if they are not engaged in robotic programming for a specified period.
- The qualification for a robotic welding programmer performing tests on a specific assembly is transferable and valid for two years unless there is a specific reason to question their ability.
- A robotic welding operator’s qualification remains valid for a specified period and may be revoked if they are not engaged in robotic welding for a specified period.
