Third Party Witness Services for WPS/PQR and WPQ

What is Third Party Witnessing for WPS/PQR and WPQ?

Third-party witnessing is an independent service where a qualified expert observes, monitors, and verifies the compliance of welding procedures and welder qualifications. This service provides an unbiased, certified assessment, ensuring that your WPS, PQR, and WPQ are performed to the highest standards of quality, safety, and regulatory compliance.

• WPS (Welding Procedure Specification): The WPS is a document that provides detailed instructions on how to perform welding on specific materials using defined processes. It ensures that welding is carried out consistently and according to established industry codes and standards.
• PQR (Procedure Qualification Record): The PQR is a record that demonstrates the capability of a specific welding procedure to meet predefined standards. It verifies that the welding procedure can be performed successfully with acceptable results.
• WPQ (Welder Performance Qualification): WPQ assesses the skill and capability of welders, ensuring they can produce quality welds under specific conditions, processes, and materials.

Third-party witnessing for these key elements is crucial for ensuring the integrity of your welding operations and maintaining compliance with international standards such as AWS, ISO, and ASME.
