This standard establishes requirements for the qualification of Welding Supervisors. It describes how personnel are qualified, the principals of conduct, and the practice by which qualification may be maintained.
As used in this standard, the word shall denotes a requirement; the word should denotes a suggestion; and the word may denotes a choice. As used in this standard, welding shall be construed to include welding and brazing.
In the qualification process, an independent third party shall examine the candidate’s general knowledge of the theory and practice of welding and of the responsibilities and duties of a Welding Supervisor. The independent third party shall examine the candidate’s welding-related qualifications and experience and shall determine the candidate’s knowledge of the requirements of general applications of standards and codes. The employer shall maintain all qualification records.
This standard is intended to supplement the requirements of an employer, or other agency and shall not be construed as preemption of an employer’s responsibility for all work performed. Hence, it is the responsibility of the employer to determine a supervisor’s qualifications other than those stated in 1.3 above, and confirm the capability of performing duties assigned by the employer. The standard is not intended to supersede or contradict local, state, or national regulations.
