Please excuse me if I am speaking out of line or incorrectly, but according to Section IX, QW-201 "Manufacturer's or Contractor's Responsibility", mailing a qualified WPS is not ethical in my opinion. The WPS should be information taken directly from the data recorded during actual welding of a test coupon. In my opinion, you should do your own WPS with information taken from the PQR that you generated from the test coupon your company, or representative, actually welded. Please reference QW-200.1, "Each manufacturer and contractor SHALL prepare written Welding Procedure Specifications which are defined as follows:" It then lists the 5 different Code requirements. Also reference QW-200.2, "Each manufacturer or contractor SHALL be required to prepare a Procedure Qualification Record which is defined as follows:" It then lists the 6 requirements of the Code. In closing, I would not feel right by just e-mailing an approved and qualified WPS done by my company to someone that has not done the work to do his/hers own welding test coupon. Sorry, but this is just my own feelings. I could be very wrong, but this Forum is all about personal and documented issues. Thanks and no intentional hard feelings intended.
