Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to perform welding/fabrication inspection by selecting, conducting or verifying appropriate non-destructive tests, establishing and validating welding procedures, ensuring quality assurance is carried out and monitoring procedures.It applies to welding inspection based on knowledge of welding science and metallurgy, mechanical properties of welded joints, heat treatment procedures and national and technical standards. Test procedures and the range of this standard are determined by applicable Australian and/or international standards.Where the performance of non-destructive testing is required the appropriate units should also be selected.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: BUnit Weight: 12
