We offer accredited certification of welders, welding operators and welding setters with or without PED approval. Welding certificates or welding certificates are issued by accredited partner – TÜV.
Expand your company’s welding skills with welding certificates as proof of welding competence
The welding qualifications can be issued according to:
When you request certification, we assess whether you are able to sit an exam. Before we can start the certification process, we need to get it right together:
You may also be asked to provide documentation or additional information if we deem it necessary for certification purposes.
In cases where the welder’s skills are found to be satisfactory, he/she can proceed to testing/examination. A confidentiality agreement is drawn up and signed by the candidate.
At the agreed test location and time, the inspector checks the welder’s/examiner’s documentation for identification. The examinee signs a declaration in which he/she agrees to use the certificate correctly. During the examination, the Advisio examiner assesses your professional qualifications, including whether you understand and follow the welding procedures on which the welding is based. The inspector also checks whether the items to be tested meet the requirements specified in ISO 9606 and ISO 14732 respectively.
The examinee prepares and sets up the welding test.
The inspector ensures that the weld test is labeled with ID tag, examinee ID, inspector ID and date.
The inspector will take the weld sample for a DT test (destructive test). If you want a PED endorsement, the sample must also undergo an NDT test (non-destructive test) according to the applicable standard. We use an external supplier for NDT/DT tests and these can be performed as accredited testing if deemed necessary.
The inspector visually assesses the weld sample. Upon acceptance of the visual test, the weld samples can undergo DT (destructive testing) for approval. If there is a requirement for PED, additional NDT must be performed according to the applicable standard.
NDT/DT testing can be performed as accredited testing if deemed necessary.
If the certification body approves the overall test, a certificate can be issued. If the test is not passed, you will be referred for more training before taking the test again.
Certificates are sent to the requester electronically and in the original paper version.
At the request of the requester, AdVisio can upload the certificate in AdVisio Software.
Upon request, AdVisio can check or confirm whether a person has a valid welding certificate and which standard they are certified in. However, we do not provide certificates without the requester’s written consent – unless it is a legal requirement.
In the event that the certificate is misused, it may be suspended. Gross misuse will be reported to the Danish authorities.
The requester and the examinee sign a solemn declaration committing to:
AdVisio has internal policies and procedures that ensure objectivity and impartiality in relation to its certification activities. The management of AdVisio ensures that no financial or social conflicts of interest arise in relation to the companies for whom AdVisio sells welding certificates – so to speak:
AdVisio management and AdVisio inspectors thus sign a declaration of impartiality, which states that impartiality in the above matters is maintained.
A complaint in connection with the certification process must be submitted in writing and addressed to Allan Vester (dir.). You can find our contact details here.
If your complaint includes an appeal of our decision during the certification process, the complaint must be submitted within 4 weeks after you have become aware of our decision.
Upon receipt of your complaint, it will be registered in our deviation and complaint handling system and we will send you a confirmation of receipt within 5 working days. We therefore need your contact details, our project number/order number, any reference to documentation and a description of your complaint.
We will contact you if further comments are required during the processing of your complaint.
Once we have processed your complaint, you will receive the decision and possibly an action plan within 2-4 weeks. Depending on the scope and complexity, the processing time may be longer. In such situations, you will be kept informed about the progress of the case. When the complaint is finalized, you will receive a written decision on your complaint and options for appeal.
