Weld certification plays a vital role in demonstrating that welding procedures and personnel meet recognised industry standards. Whether you operate within manufacturing, construction, engineering or fabrication, achieving the correct certification helps provide confidence that your welding processes have been independently assessed and verified. At Code A Weld, we support businesses across Liverpool with professional weld certification services that insurance providers and regulatory organisations worldwide recognise. Our experienced team prepares comprehensive documentation that records every stage of the inspection, testing and certification process, helping businesses demonstrate compliance and maintain high quality standards.
Welding Procedure Certification
A Welding Procedure Qualification Record (WPQR), also known as a Procedure Qualification Record (PQR), confirms that a welding procedure has been tested and meets the relevant specification. This is an essential requirement for many industries where safety, quality and traceability are priorities. Our surveyors visit your premises to assess the welding procedure and work closely with your team to gather all the necessary information. This collaborative approach ensures accurate data collection while minimising disruption to your daily operations. Following the site assessment, the required test samples are coordinated through an independent UKAS-accredited laboratory. Test results are typically available within three to five working days, allowing projects to continue without unnecessary delays.
Welder Performance Qualification
In addition to certifying welding procedures, welder performance qualification demonstrates that individual welders have the skills required to produce welds that comply with recognised standards. During the qualification process, our surveillance team independently witnesses welders producing test pieces in accordance with a Preliminary Welding Procedure Specification (pWPS) or an approved Welding Procedure Specification (WPS). The completed samples are then submitted for testing through an independent UKAS-accredited laboratory. Successful candidates can achieve qualification to nationally, European or internationally recognised standards, providing valuable evidence of competence for employers and clients alike.
Ongoing Qualification Support
Maintaining certification is just as important as obtaining it. Many qualifications require renewal or periodic assessment to remain valid. Our team supports businesses by managing continuing qualifications and requalification programmes where required. We also prepare the documentation needed to demonstrate ongoing competence, helping support certificate extensions and ensuring records remain up to date.
