Certification of Welding Personnel

Guaranteeing Highly Qualified and Certified Personnel for Permanent Joining

Welding and brazing are the key to a safe construction. To guarantee consistent quality, lower risk of accidents and damage and to ensure a qualified workforce, personnel for permanent joining frequently need to be approved by a notified body, recognized third party body or accredited certification body.
