ISO 9606 Welder Qualification Certification

Scope

ISO 9606 is an international welder qualification standard developed by the International Institute of Welding (IIW), designed to verify the skills of welding operators in performing specified joints, materials, and welding methods. It is widely used in steel structures, boiler pressure vessels, bridges, shipbuilding, offshore engineering, rail transportation, and other fields. This certification is a critical requirement for international projects and system certifications such as EN 1090, ISO 3834, and PED.

[Certification Content]

• Qualification assessments for welding different base materials (e.g., carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloys).

• Testing for various welding methods (SMAW, GMAW, FCAW, TIG, SAW, etc.).

• Evaluation of adaptability to different positions (flat, overhead, horizontal, all-position).

• Test plate welding and inspection (including visual, RT, UT) in accordance with WPS requirements.

• Individually numbered certificates for each qualification, internationally recognized.

[Certification Process]

• Assess welding requirements and standard applicability.

• Develop/confirm the corresponding WPS (Welding Procedure Specification).

• Arrange test plate operations and witnessed tests.

• Conduct non-destructive or destructive tests and issue evaluation reports.

• Certification body reviews results and issues qualification certificates (periodic re-certification required).

[Allmark Advantages]

• Professional welding technical consultants to guide welders in practical training and standard comprehension.

• One-stop qualification services integrated with ISO 3834/EN 1090 projects.

• Support for multi-standard parallel assessments (e.g., AWS D1.1 + ISO 9606).

• Long-term collaboration with third-party certification bodies, ensuring short cycles and high pass rates.
