Member Price: $69.00

This specification provides guidelines for a company to qualify and certify Welding Inspection Specialists for the purpose of recognizing an individual’s ability to perform in-house welding inspection in accordance with contract or industry specific inspection standards.

The program is described in a Written Practice and is controlled by the company. The qualification requires documentation of experience, training, and satisfactory completion of an examination. The examination tests knowledge of welding processes, procedure and performance qualification, destructive testing, nondestructive examination, terms, definitions, symbols, reports, records, safety, and responsibility as specifically applied by the contract or industry standards applicable to the company.

Certification as a Welding Inspection Specialist, as described herein, does not, in and of itself, qualify an individual to perform third-party welding inspection.
