MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (Questions 1-30)
Question 1
Under CSA W47.1-25, which of the following is a mandatory requirement for a certified
company's Quality Assurance (QA) Manual?
A. A list of all past projects completed by the company
B. An organisation chart showing the independent authority of the Level 3 Inspector
from production
C. The company's marketing strategy for securing new clients
D. A detailed list of all equipment suppliers
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: CSA W47.1-25 Clause 5.1 requires the QA Manual to include an organisation
chart that demonstrates the Level 3 Inspector's authority is independent of the
production department . This independence is critical for objective quality control.
Options A, C, and D are not required by the standard.
Question 2
,According to CSA W47.1-25, how long must a certified company retain welding
procedure qualification records (PQRs)?
A. 1 year
B. 3 years
C. 5 years
D. 10 years
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: W47.1 requires a 5-year retention period for PQRs and WPSs, including
revision history . This ensures traceability and allows for verification during CWB audits.
Shorter retention periods (A, B) are non-compliant; 10 years (D) exceeds the standard's
minimum requirement.

Under CSA W47.1-25, the internal audit of a certified company's quality system must be
conducted at what minimum frequency?
A. Monthly
B. Quarterly
C. Annually
D. Biennially
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: CSA W47.1 requires an internal audit of the quality system to be performed
at least annually. These records are reviewed by the CWB auditor during surveillance
inspections . Monthly (A) or quarterly (B) may be done but exceed minimum
requirements; biennially (D) would be insufficient.
,Question 4
What is the maximum calibration interval for inspection and testing equipment under
CSA W47.1-25?
A. 6 months
B. 12 months
C. 18 months
D. 24 months
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: CSA W47.1-25 Clause 5.2.4 requires calibration of inspection equipment at

cannot be transferred to its personnel or the CWB .
Question 6
The correct hierarchy of welding documentation under CSA W47.1 is:
A. WPS → PQR → WPS
B. Code → QA Manual → ITP → PQR → WPS
C. PQR → WPS → ITP → QA Manual → Code
D. WPS → ITP → PQR → Code → QA Manual
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The welding document pyramid follows a top-down hierarchy: Code → QA
Manual → ITP (Inspection and Test Plan) → PQR → WPS → WPQ → Inspection Reports →
NDT Reports .
Question 7
Which of the following is NOT a required element of a CSA W47.1-25 QA Manual?
