Help with welding standards and customer requirements
A tender or customer may ask for a particular welding standard. PWC helps businesses Australia-wide, and overseas by arrangement, work out what it means and prepare for it. Send us the request so we can discuss the next step.
Getting certified is rarely about the welding itself. It is about proving, on paper and under audit, that the welding was controlled — that the procedures were qualified, the welders were tested, the consumables were right and someone competent was watching.
PWC prepares that evidence and works through the certification with you, from gap analysis to the closing meeting. An independent accredited certification body carries out the external audit and issues the certificate.
