Canadian Welding Bureau Presentation to ACBOA

Topics To Be Covered Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB) – Who Are We? CWB – What’s New? CWB Company Certification - Overview National/Provincial Building Codes – Welding Requirements Canadian and American Welding Standards - Review International Welding Standards - What’s Happening?

CWB – Who Are We? CSA welding standard administrator-individuals/products/companies Independent 3 rd party body Canadian Authorized National Body (ANB) for International Institute of Welding (IIW) qualifications Actively involved in Standards (CSA, AWS, IIW and ISO) Accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) A private sector, not-for-profit organization Offices and staff across Canada

CWB – What’s New? New CSA Welding Standards - W47.1/W47.2/W55.3/W178.1/W178.2 Industries increasing use of CWB Certification -Transportation, Oil and Gas, Wind Turbines, LNG New Training Programs -Welding Design for Engineers, Welding Inspectors (Level 1, 2, 3) CWB Funding to Universities/Colleges/High Schools Promoting Public Safety (Engineers and Building Officials) International Welding Standard Development (ISO and IIW)

CSA Certification Programs Administered by CWB Welded SteelW47.1 Welded Aluminum StructuresW47.2 Welded Reinforcing Bars for ConcreteW186 Welding ConsumablesW48 Welding Inspection CompaniesW178.1 Welding InspectorsW178.2 Resistance Welding of Structural SteelW55.3 Manufacturers of Steel Building SystemsA660

CWB Company Certification – Overview Four main requirements: 1.Qualified welders 2.Qualified welding supervisor(s) 3.Qualified welding engineering (Div. 1 & 2) 4.Accepted welding procedures CSA W47.1 “Certification of Companies for Fusion Welding of Steel ”

Requirement #1 – Qualified Welders Must pass a practical test -For all positions and processes used Issued a Welder Card, or “Ticket” -Valid for the certified company named on the ticket -Tickets transferable between certified companies Use of Ticket -Valid only while employed by a CSA W47.1 company -Careful with Union tickets – who are they working for? -Pressure vessel tickets are not W47.1 welder tickets

Welder’s Ticket

Requirement #2 – Qualified Welding Supervisor(s) Employ at least one Welding Supervisor Minimum education & experience requirements Responsible for the welding operations and to ensure that welders are qualified & welding procedures are followed

Supervisor’s Ticket (Not a welding ticket!)

Requirement #3 – Qualified Welding Engineer(s) Companies choose certification in 1 of 3 divisions: Division 1 - Welding engineer employed Division 2 - Welding engineer retained Division 3 - No welding engineer Division requirement normally specified in the design/product/safety standard

Requirement #4 – Qualified Welding Procedures A document of welding details & parameters ­ ­ “A welder’s recipe book” CWB accepted to ensure the requirements of both the certification & governing fabrication standards are met

Welding Procedure Data Sheets

Maintaining CWB Certification Certification is an ongoing process To maintain certification, companies must: -Qualify new & check test existing welders every 2 years -Submit new or revised welding procedures, as required -Continually verify visual acceptance of welded product(s) -Ensure any CWB “scope” work subcontracted to a CWB certified company The CWB audits each company every 6 months

Verifying Certification Verify company status on CWB website -Company web listing updated weekly - Ask company for current Letter of Validation -Annual letter given to certified clients -Verify dates The following items are not proof of certification on their own: -Welder Tickets -Welding Procedures -Wall Certificates -Welding Supervisor Certificates Call any local CWB Regional Office or staff

Wall Certificate (not proof of certification)

Letter of Validation

Benefits of CWB Certification Independent review of company’s capability & conformance to owner/project requirements Helps to reduce fabrication costs Increases technical competence Helps to improve quality Forms an integral part of any quality assurance system Develops a disciplined approach to welding fabrication Helps demonstrate due diligence & enhances safety & reliability Recognized worldwide

Worldwide Certification Approx Companies Argentina Austria Brazil Belgium Canada Chile China Czech Rep. Finland France Germany Holland India Indonesia Italy Japan Korea Malaysia Mexico Singapore Slovakia Slovenia South Korea South Africa Spain Sweden Switzerland Turkey United Kingdom United States

Estimated Certification Costs & Time to Certify a Company CSA W47.1 Depends on the company -Average - 6 months Annual fee -1-2 welder companies: · $2,800 (1 st year ) · $1,400 (subsequent years)

National/Provincial Building Codes - Welding Requirements NATIONAL & PROVINCIAL BUILDING CODES CSA A23 CSA S16CSA S157 Precast Concrete Steel Structures for Buildings Aluminum CSA W186 CSA W48 CSA W47.2 CSA W59.2 CSA W47.1 CSA W178.1 CSA W59 CSA W178.2

Individual visual inspectors used must be CSA W178.2 (Level II minimum) or W178.1 Company Level I inspectors must be employed by a W178.1 company Inspection Requirements Welding Requirements Fabricator shall be a CSA W47.1 certified company in Division 1 or 2 Fabricator may sublet to a Division 3 company (assist in fabrication or erection) CAN/CSA Standard S16-01 “Limit States Design of Steel Structures”

Examples of Standards Which “Specify” Certification - A23.4/A251/S304.1 Concrete Construction Standards - B44 Elevators, Escalators, Moving Walkways - B167 Electric Overhead Traveling Cranes - B311 Manlifts - G40.20 Fabricated Three Plate Beams - S6 Design & Fabrication of Highway Bridges - S136 Cold Formed Steel Structure Members - S16 Steel Structures for Buildings - S37 Antenna Towers and Support Structures - S157 Strength Design in Aluminum - S473 Steel Offshore Structures - W59 Welded Steel Construction - Z98 Passenger Ropeway - Z185 Personnel Hoists - Z248 Tower Cranes - Z256 Material Hoists - Z267 Amusement Rides - Z271 Powered Platforms

Canadian and American Welding Standards - Review Fabrication (materials, electrode storage) Welding Procedures -Pre-qualified Joints Weld Quality and Inspection Weld Design Fabrication (materials, electrode storage) Welder Testing -Self administered -Initial testing only Welding Procedures -Self administered -Prequalified joints -Testing requirements Weld Quality and Inspection Weld Design Company Certification CWB on-site audits every 6 months CWB qualified Welding Supervisor CWB qualified Welding Engineer CWB welder testing every 2 years CWB consumable certification CWB accepted Welding Procedures - - Testing requirements CSA W59-03 CSA W AWS D AWS D Not in AWS D1.1-06

International Welding Standards - What’s Happening? ISO TC ISO TC 44 S/C 10 ­ ­ Quality Systems (ISO 3834) ­ ­ Welding Procedures (ISO 15614) S/C 11 ­ ­ Welder Testing (ISO 9606) International Institute of Welding (IIW) - -CWB is the ANB for Canada - -Welding personnel qualifications Welding engineers, supervisors, welders, inspectors, etc. Over 5,000 certified worldwide and growing

CWB Services Available Auditing Job Sites - -Call any regional office or staff - -Inform us of non CWB certified companies on job sites Enquire the status of individual/company certification - -Check our website - -Call any regional office or staff Inspector Qualification?
