Up Topic Welding Industry / Inspection & Qualification / Visual Inspection Per AWS D17.1 Certification
- - By jameslaz (*) Date 05-18-2012 22:27
Hi,
     I am setting up a welding program and have a question regarding the visual inspector qualifications per AWS D17.1.

Basically what I want to know is do you have to be certified by AWS to perform a visual inspection or can you rely someone with many years of welding experience who know what they are doing to perform the visual inspection who has not taken a AWS certification test?

Thank you,
James

Per 7.1.2, an individual either certified to QC1 or meeting the requirements of B5.2 and approved by the engineering authority. Of course contract documents would be the determining factor.
