CSA Standard W47.1-09 - CWB Welding
Supervisor study guide WXE1.1
CORRECT QUESTIONS &
ANSWERS(RATED A+)
Does the CSA Standard W47.1 specify the requirements for a company seeking
certification? - ANSWERYes, 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? - ANSWERThe
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.

standard stipulates requirements for:
- welding engineers
- welding supervisors
- tack welders, welders and welding operators
- documentation

What is the difference between "class" and "classification"? - ANSWER(Cl.3) Class -
a category of welder qualification, e.g., the flat (F), horizontal (H), vertical (V), or
overhead (O) welding positions.
Classification - refers to the various types of welding personnel e.g., T, S, FW, ASW
or WT
What are the welding personnel classifications specified in CSA standard W47.1? -
ANSWER(Cl.3) Classification - T, S, FW, ASW, or WT welding personnel as follows:
- "T" refers to a welder's and welding operator's ability to weld from one side without
backing and achieve complete penetration in the root pass, e.g., hollow section, pipe
and plate.
- "S" refers to a welder's and welding operator's ability to weld plates and rolled or
hollow sections for the full thickness of material, when welding from both sides with
backing, or for welding square groove welds from both sides, without backgouging,
within the thickness limitations of the accepted welding procedure data sheets for the
process used.
- "FW" refers to a welder's and welding operator's ability to deposit fillet welds and
tack welds.
- "ASW" refers to a welder's ability to deposit arc spot welds.
- "WT" refers to a welder's ability to deposit tack welds.
What is a Welding Procedure Data Sheet (WPDS)? - ANSWER(Cl.3) Welding
