ALREADY GRADED A+
Must all welding personnel qualification testing be witnessed by the CWB? -
ANSWER-No. (Cl. 8.2.4) Welding of the test assemblies shall be carried out in
the presence of the Canadian Welding Bureau's representative. Mechanical testing
of the specimens shall be performed by any accredited testing organization (ATO),
a welding inspection organization certified to CSA standard W178.1 for
mechanical testing, or other organizations or laboratories acceptable to the
Canadian Welding bureau representative. Bending of the test specimens may be
performed by the company; However the evaluation of the test specimens shall be
performed by the Canadian welding bureau. All radiographs shall be interpreted by
the Canadian welding bureau
For how long is a tack welder's qualification valid? - ANSWER-A tack welder's
qualification shall remain in effect indefinitely (while the tack welder is employed
by a certified company) unless there is a specific reason to question his/her ability
or the period of validity is limited to a shorter period by the qualification granted
under clause 8.2.1
Does the CSA Standard W47.1 specify the requirements for a company seeking
certification? - ANSWER-Yes, This standard provides the requirements for the
certification of companies engaged in the fusion welding of steel and the
qualification of their personnel and welding procedures (Cl 1.1)
Who is responsible for the welded products a company produces? - ANSWER-
The company (1.2) The requirements of this standard are based on the principle
,that a certified company has full responsibility for the quality of the welded
product it produces and this responsibility cannot be transferred to its employed or
retained personnel or to the administrator of this standard.
Does this standard approve the products and services of a certified company? -
ANSWER-(Cl. 1.3) This standard governs the certification of companies.
Certification pertains to the capability of the company with respect to welding.
Certification should not be construed as approving any products or services of the
certified company.
