Hi,
I have look into the ASME IX QW-322 related to validity/expiration of a welder cerificat and there is only mention that the welding operator certificate shall be "affected" when he has not welded with a process during a periode of 6 months or more, or there is a specific reason to question his ability to make weld that meet the specification.
My question is if there is not a 2-years validity time for the certificate in addition to this 6 month time the welder need to have been welded, or any sign on the certificate from the manufacturing responsible welding co-ordinator?
To check a cerificate from a supplier if you not have see he welded, or have any documentation from his work from NDE(RT/UT)the last 6 month without have a signature on his welder certificate that can prove his welding within 6 month, how can you then trust the welder/certificate?
