Personnel certification for welders and brazers

To ensure high quality and safety in welding work, authorities, standards, and customers often require welders to be certified.

A certified welder has passed an approved welding test and obtained a personal certificate confirming that they possess the necessary knowledge and skills to perform work in accordance with applicable standards.

Certificates are valid for two, three, or six years, depending on the standard, provided that the welder continuously demonstrates competence through regularly performed high-quality work.
