The Role of Welding Engineers in Achieving Welding Compliance

Compliance in welding ensures the structural integrity, safety and longevity of products and structures. Neglecting applicable standards can lead to catastrophic failures, legal consequences and financial losses. In Canada, the CWB Group certifies companies, inspection organizations and welding consumables through a review and qualification process. Certification provides clients with confidence that the documentation, weld quality and knowledge level of fabricators have been independently verified against the requirements of standards. Welding engineers play a key role in these programs by ensuring that welding processes comply with applicable standards throughout the project life cycle.
