Certifications: Qualification of welders

The business gets more and more questions about product liability and evidence of personnel skills. We are able to test these skills by letting the weld personnel produce a test weld which we will evaluate using appropriate standards.

The qualification is done to evaluate the skill of welding personnel when constructing a weld under production circumstances. In general a particular test qualifies for that situation and every other situation that is assumed to be easier to produce. For the right test weld, we will specify the right type of material, welding process, weld shape, dimensions and weld position in order to place the welding personnel in a array of situations as wide as possible. These qualifications can be executed under supervision of Det Norske Veritas, Lloyd’s Register, American Bureau of Shipping or Bureau Versitas. LAB Verduyn BV is accredited by DNV Certification in order to be able to perform and evaluate the qualifications.

As you can see Lastechnisch Advies Buro A. Verduyn BV. has it all. Short lines and clear communications are very important for you. Just as important is the fact that we provide our service in your company so your welding personnel works in a familiar environment and with his or her own equipment. We qualify welding personnel according to the most usual standards like NEN EN 287/ISO 9606, ASME IX and AWS D1.1.
