Quality
DNV-GL Certification B.V. issues the certificate ISO 9712 Visual Welding Inspector VT-w level 2 upon passing the exam and fulfilling the requirements. The DNV certificate is accredited by the Council of Accreditation in accordance with ISO 17024. After the last day of the course there is an immediate opportunity to take the ISO 9712 VTw-2 exam.
Manufacturers sometimes need the help of external, certified welders with certificates. We can double check the skills of your external welders through a simple welding test (with immediate RT or UT verification) according to their certificate(s) before welding begins in your production. This way of working guarantees that the quality of the external welders is sufficient and avoids further problems in your production.
