WPS, PQR & welder qualification — code-compliant from day one.
Before a single production weld is laid down, the procedure must be qualified and the welder must be tested. We review WPS / PQR documents, witness procedure qualification tests and oversee welder performance qualification (WPQ) to ASME IX, AWS D1.1 and EN ISO 9606.
