Certification Body

A certification body is an independent institution that tests and certifies welding procedures, personnel, and management.

Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action

Certifying organizations have no direct physical or chemical effects. They verify the application of welding procedures and the behavior of materials under these conditions.

Metallurgical Relevance & Risks in Welding

Wrong certification can lead to unqualified welding procedures, which can cause cracks or failure of components. Uncertified personnel may perform faulty work, endangering the service life and safety of machines and structures.

Workshop Practice & Instructions

In the workshop, it's important that all welding procedures and personnel are certified. Make sure certificates are valid and regularly updated. Only use certified materials and methods to ensure safety and quality.
