Topic overview

The welding process may be similar, while the evidence of conformity is fundamentally different in each sector. A professional welding coordinator must distinguish legislation, design code, product standard, welding-quality system and project specification.

Is the hierarchy of legal, design, manufacturing and customer requirements clear for the actual product, including responsible parties?

Identify product, category/class and consequence of failure first.

Separate design, execution, qualification, NDT and conformity assessment.
