Gentlemen and Ladies: My company is wanting to bring in sub-contractors to weld on our project. They are to be paid by thier employer. My boss feels that we can test these welders to our WPS, certify them and put them to work. I have been scouring Section IX, and do not see where this is legal. The sub-contracting company does not hold WPS's equivalent to our's, and therefore the tenents of QW-300.3 do not support this arrangement.QW-103.1 is quite clear that responsibility rests with each contractor or manufacturer. QW-201 also clearly identifies responsibility of each manufacturer holding thier own WPS"s. Am I missing something here? If feel that the sub-contractor must test thier welders, submit to us thier WPS's and WPQ's for review and then can be utilized. Am I wrong? Any insights would be greatly appreciated,thanks, Deb
